    Go to your local mechanic and get a brake test. It should be free

    Got mine checked at 100,000 k's and they still had 50% on them.

    Thanks heaps.. My commodore has only done 96,000, they aren't squeling (as yet), so i might just leave it.

    That's a good time to get a brake fluid flush and change done though. Costs around 50 bucks, old fluid collects moisture and can cause corrosion in the components.
