bad brakes

I just had my civic in for its 16000 km check. The dealer told me that the front brakes had only 40% remaining. I have driven datsuns, chevs, fords, corvettes, nissans and even an old civic before civics were cool. My driving habits have not changed and I have never had brakes last so short a time.

The dealer says all Hondas are like this.

you should change them with 30% left enough so the roters don't get messed
