Rear Discs CTR FN2...HELP!
Discussion
Hi all!
It's busier in here than in the Honda bit, so I hope you don't mind me posting....
The other half has an 07 plate CTR FN2....covered 32000 miles, not driven hard at all.
I knew the pads were getting low all round, but the stealer today informed us that we would need new rear discs, as the current ones had thinned too much!
I don't know what to make of this.....her previous CTR had exactly the same rear brake set up and those discs had still not had to be replaced after 60000 miles.
The pad material is soft compared to the fronts, hence the greater amount of brake dust at the rear.
But something must be wrong here.....maybe something to do with the VSA system kicking in?
I know that Honda have replaced some rear discs under warranty, but they're not entertaining me....Honda UK were VERY quick to dismiss this notion, clearly suggesting to me that they had had lots of hassle from people like me about this very issue.
Does anyone know what the problem might be and what might be a good solution?
I'm loathed to pay Honda a single penny as a matter of principle.
Cheers
Jazzer

Kinda related....
I have an FD2 Type R (the import model) and my rear discs needed changing at 24,000 miles which I found odd.
Found it especially strange since the fronts are still fine, as I was always under the impression that the fronts do most of the hard work.
Maybe it is a Honda thing?
