fast wearing brake pads - after 2 months
after 2 years of getting this new car, recently 3 months back i had just changed a new OEM set of Brake Discs and Brake Pads for front and rear due to excessive wearing.
one month ago, i had changed all 4 pieces of tyres with all balancing and allignment done.
now, yesterday i was at the official service centre, and was advised for my front brake pad balance is 85% while for my rear brake pad the balance is 65%.
both percentage was surprising to me considering the recent changes of all the above.
my driving style and distance are mainly city driving 80% and 20% city highway.... the only long distance i took during this period was a round trip from KL to Kuantan.
kindly advice on the situation.
Was wondering why the SC(? or outside) workshop replacing brake discs in a 2 year old car ?after 2 years of getting this new car, recently 3 months back i had just changed a new OEM set of Brake Discs and Brake Pads for front and rear due to excessive wearing.

I won't even replace a 2 year old brake pad typically .
While I can't grasp why the rear pad is wearing faster than the front (if both are of similar quality/brand) , I do expect relatively faster wear rate of a new pad and/or new rotor disc than run-in sets .
