My car is an 06 w/ 18K miles on it and I keep my brembo's looking brand new by washing them and detailing them with wheel cleaner and a toothbrush. You can do this every few days then they always look new.

I will definitely pay more attention to them now that I've seen how they can get.

Well i'll say that the humidity and heat of Miami didn't help them either. Better maintenance on my part will help regardless.

all of mine were replaced under the factory warranty the first year I had the car in 07 my 05 had 4,000 miles when I bought it and after 2,000 more I noticed small fadeing where the brake fluid get out a little. So needless to say each one of the fronts is $1,600 i believe atlease that is what my receipt says and I don't even know what the rears cost. So I am happy Mitsu decided to do right and replace them all. Nice car man-JOEYD
