Not that crazy at all...just read all the other replies.
You’re putting a lot of miles on that car but still do not justify for the excessive wear on your pads. Yes, you pay for your own habit. :chuckles:

Did you check your caliper/s? You might have bad caliper/s causing brake pad drag (=excessive/rapid pad wear.) Be aware that performance pads tend to wear out faster than stock, hence the frequent pad replacement. Some brake pads with metallic contents are also harmful to rotors.

I have a '91 Honda Accord SE with 78K+ miles. Just replaced both front rotors with Brembo Blanks, only because one was slightly warped. Yes, I could have easily taken it for turning but did not bother. Went ahead and replaced both to make things even. :naughty:
