I have an '06 Exige with 12,000 miles on the clock. I believe the car has been driven on the easy side, and have a few questions.
1. If the car isn't regularly tracked, and I'm not too hard on brakes, can I expect to get 25K+ miles out of the stock front pads? 35K+ out of the rears?
2. I get some squeal now and then, when they're cold, which I suppose is normal, is that the case?
3. I'm really fond of EBC Redstuff pads, I had them on my STi and they were quiet, easy on rotors, and produced very little dust (compared to stock). However, I don't see much love for them here, could that be because they're not a real track pad?
4. As far as a non-tracked car, what is your opinion of the stock pads? What I mean is, is it really a track pad, a street pad, or a good/bad compromise for a daily driver?
I hate to think I'm turning a track car into a street car, but I really won't be tracking the car much, hence the goofy questions. Any insight would be much appreciated.
