[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 903434, member: 56140"] In my experience, a lifetime warranty on pads is you never have to buy another set again. If you do not like the way they stop, the way they wear, they way they feel, or if they wear out, they are replaced for free. When I buy a new vehicle, I buy new pads and pull the OEM's off. When I sell the vehicle, I put the OEM pads back on and return the aftermarket pads for my money back. I was making some simple observations and assumptions. 1, he is doing the job himself so he has the know how to do a brake job. 2, the rotors are too thin With those two things, I assumed that he has done brakes before on this vehicle. 99.9% of all aftermarket brake pads I have seen have a lifetime warranty or some type of long length warranty. So, if I am correct, then he should just trade in the old pads for new pads and be done with it. Tom [/QUOTE]
