Did a few hard high speed to low speed runs today and also three or four 60-0 "slam-ons". Felt like I was pressing really hard but never had a lock up or any ABS intervention. They seemed to be fading and getting worse toward the end but I must have put a fair bit of heat into them as they were blue when I got home. Drove about 4 or 5 miles at slow speeds to allow cooling and they were all about 60 degrees when I pulled into the drive so no binding or sticking.

Will see what they feel like tomorrow when they're cold and fresh.

Interestingly I was in for an MOT on Wednesday (which she flew through) and I asked about prices for brake discs and pads front and rear and the service assistant asked me why so I remarked that they were 6 years old on the rear and 4 years old on the front and had done 67k and 51k respectively. She said that the health check revealed that the front pads were on 80% and the rears on 60%. Should all last another 100k at this rate. Doesn't sound right. I'm not a heavy braker really though so maybe they will last.
