Stock Break Wear
I took my frs to get its 15k service and noticed on the form that my rear breaks measured 7mm and my fronts measured 9mm. I thought that cars were supposed to wear the fronts faster?
Thoughts? |

Cars with VSC use the rear brakes more to keep the car stable. Same thing happens with my wife's Mazda3.

Would the E-brake have anything to do with the wear on the rear brakes? Or is the ebrake a drum brake?

Most rear brake pads start out thinner than the front pads, I wouldn't worry about it.
