I've never had brakes replaced till now on my 2009 Fit Sport 5M (I downshift frequently). They weren't worn out but I suspected they may have been getting close, so I took the car in. Mechanic Scotty said I still had 3mm left on the original OEM pads!!! Though not neccesary yet, I chose to have the pads and rotors replaced. They also flushed and refilled the brake fluid. Amazing little car this has been! I plan to keep it another 124,000 miles!
