my OEM brake pads only lasted for 20k miles...
Im thinking most of my braking is occuring in the front discs..
i'm assuming i need to adjust my rear drums on my car ?

i would just save some cash and convert the rear to disc that is what i am doin.. drums stink.. and your right most of your braking is on the front discs... def consider a conversion for better stopping and better look lol

im thinking about them since i found them on here for 200 shipped
but then i need new pads (50 bucks) and new rotors (120 bucks)

it keeps adding up

Thats how its supposed to work most of the braking is always done fy the front brakes. But they shouldnt be wearing out that fast unless you are really abusing em.

something else is wrong. HONDA oem pads should last a lot longer then that even under hard driving conditions. Mine lasted 45k and that was very hard driven.

does it shake when you brake? the it pretty fast to run out of pad, but not unheard of. If you get the rear disc and a prop valve you'll see less wear up front, and may even lower you 60-0. Drums are lighter though, so stick with them if you're going for gas milage

my gas mileage is bad also (180-190 to the tank with greddy blue box )
anyways i was wondering how does th ebrake pad get pulled off the rotor when not in use?

The ebrake pushes the same pad that the regular brake does, and in the same way to. The ebrake is just cable driven instead of hydrolic driven.
