I have a 2005 Accord Euro. My front brake pads and rotors got replaced at 35000km
by Honda because of brake shuddering. I replaced my rear pads at 67000km with Bendix GCT. My car is now 95000km. I recently inspected my brake pads and found my front pads still have at least 6mm on it and rear pads have about 4mm. It seems my rear brakes wear out real fast as so far i got barely 30000km out of them. Is this normal? or it just shows the quality of the OEM pads are better? My car is manual, i drive like a granny in peak hour traffic everyday.

I'm not sure about Accord Euro. But my Civic is 160K Km on the clock, but still running on the 1st (Originnal OEM) set rear brake pad. It's still have about 1.5mm left. The front is on 3rd set now (all OEM). I just changed about 2 months ago. I heard the brake ratio is 60:40 (front:rear). In opposite I'm wonder why my rear pads last very long.
