Brake Pad Wear

My service information shows a similar situation. I too am used to the front going first as it did on the E53 I had.

my first question would be...... is this a 3.0 only issue?


while i do not have an explanation i can offer this, my Corvette would wear out a set of rear pads at the track if I left the car in normal traction control mode. the traction control would apply the rear brakes at the slightest twitch of the rear end.

is it possible that with the lighter front end of the 3.0 version the rear is stepping out slightly causing traction control to apply the rear brakes?

for a point of reference, my 08 4.8 has gone thru one set of front rotors and pads in under 35k miles while my idrive says my rear pads are good for another 15k miles.
