Just an update on longevity.

My right front Centric reman lasted 4.5 years and 35K miles before seizing. I expected a bit longer life. Although can't really say it's better or not without using new calipers.

Driver's side was fine. Akebono pads were in great shape on the functioning side. Would highly recommend those.

Replaced them both with O'Riellys and Wagner OEX 976 pads because they had them in stock and I wanted to fix it the same day. I'm sure that was/ will be a mistake LOL. (Caliper hardware included was incorrect - twice...had to polish old pins and reuse. Pads fit fine, but don't seem to be as strong stopping as the Akebono)
