764k First Complete Brake Job

Well it was finally time to do the whole thing, replaced everything, but the steel lines. Have been running on the original parts since I bought her new in 2003, and it was time to do the the front brakes, the rotors were at the minimum, so I decided to rebuild the entire brake system, rotors, calipers, brackets, brake hoses, front and rear, master cylinder. All got replaced and dot 4 brake fluid put back in it. Should be good for another 700k. And at a cost of 600 dollars.

That sucks. You would think they could make brakes that would last a full 800,000 miles.

That's amazing. The pads were original when I sold my 2003 at 100k miles. Still looked liked new, and it was an automatic. What else have you replaced in that many miles?
