Early front pad wear 06
I am experiencing early pad and rotor failure on my 06. At 15.5k I am showing wear on the rotors and pads. Has anyone tried aftermarket rotors and ceramic pads to cure this issue?
Thanks

Update, When I removed the front pads, they were about 1/2 worn the rotors were almost at the maximum limit of wear 21.9 mm vs 21.4 mm max wear.
The problem is in the excessive dust the brake pads produce. The dust clogs up the area where the pads actually slide, this causes a situation where the pads can not relax after breaking because of the accmulation of dust in the sliding area.
Changing the pads and rotors has greatly reduced the dust and my fuel mileage has improved about 4-5 mpg. I plan on trying ceramic pads later
