Again congrat's on the mileage. I really wonder. If my brakes were screeching nearly metal to metal at 22k miles, in what order would yours be? I downshift almost all the time too. I guess you drive tons of open highway. Lucky for you. Didn't the brakes get replaced at ?25k miles with the planned service visit at least?

 

Nope the brakes are original. So are the disks. I do plan on getting the green or red pads with stainless brake lines and better brake fluid though. Might even look into getting better calipers. I just can't see paying their prices for something that shouldn't cost that much. I need them to be able to clear 17 & 16 wheels. I change down to the 16's for auto crossing. Anyone know of a very good price for the calipers?
