Yeah, for wipers, it's usually a gradual decline but once they start to go, it's quick; I usually look for any hazing or small spots that don't clear right away, which is a lot more obvious than trying to gauge wear on something like brake pads where you just trust a good brand like raybestos to do its job.
On the other hand, all I did to it was change oil, brake pads, tires and spark plugs. Ran all the time, snow, sun, rain. Drove it everywhere. Put loads of miles on it.
And the throttle response is super smooth, and great brakes.
For brake pads, I installed Akebono ceramic pads. Much less brake dust compared to the OEM brakes.
This might not be a popular opinion, but I've never had any problems with my OEM pads or rotors. Truck had the original OEM pads and rotors on it when I bought it, when those wore out I put Raybestos ones on and I was definitely not impressed with their performance. I switched back to OEM and have been happy ever since.
Now I’m a much happier camper with my EBC Yellowstuff’s.
Just wish they didn’t squeal…..
I would suggest going to [www.buybrakes.com](http://www.buybrakes.com) and get the R1 Concepts pads for the front and rear. The ones Rockauto has growl a little bit.
hatte mal Bremsen von ATP bzw ATEC an meinem Lupo, waren minderwertig
I think their break pads are not lasting long. On my 1.5 DSG Kushaq I’m also not getting the break bite which I used to get and they make screeching sounds when are applied, considering the car has only done 17k km till now.
