For what it's worth-I just replaced the front brakes and rotors on my '99 9-5. The last set (pads only) was installed by the dealer somewhere around 10k miles ago I think. Doing them myself this time I noticed that the slide pins probably were not cleaned properly Could be calipers were binding) and one of the pin dust caps was missing. The car now has like 45K on it and I reckon the rotors were in need of replacement (dealer never mentioned that) at the last pad change and that's why the pads got eaten up so quickly, even given that 85% of the miles are city. Lessons learned, do my own brakes from now on 'cos I care and find a good indy for the stuff I can't do.
