Brake pad wear 200 1992

Read all the posts, sounds like possibly your driving habits. I spend a lot of time coasting up to red lights instead of racing up only to have to Brake. most of teh time they turn green before having to touch the brakes. I get about 40-50K on Pads.
Are you sure your Pins that hold the Pads to the calipers are wire wheeled nice and clean with a slight film of grease on them? maybe the Caliper pistons are all OK it's just that the pads bind a bit everytime you step on the brakes because they aren't floating nicely on the Pins.
