I just replaced the brake pads for the second time (no cost for
parts,lifetime pads from Parts America) on my Accord LX. I bought it
new, and it just turned 226,000 miles. Rotors are original and still
thicker than spec. Rear shoes are still fine.
I guess I'm just not as rough on the brakes as some people. bob
