First, thanks for giving me some pionters on this. Here in California, brake pads are gone in no time if someone such as my wife is driving like she is hurry all the time. I got it in for a major tune-up at 45,000 miles and the dealer told us that the fronts are about 30 percent left, and the rears got about 40 percent left. I guest I just want to be safe then sorry.
The other thing I like to know is that, our car has 4 wheel anti-lock brakes, and also has speed sensors, too. Do I need to be special careful on something that I don't know about. I've changed a few older models of Toyota, Honda, and Nissan's cars but this is first time with Subaru.
I want to be good on this, because I also have a 2003 Forester, and my dad has a 2005 OB. I am also looking at the new B9 Tribeca.
Thank you for all of your comments.
