Yes, but which costs more money to replace brake pads or a clutch disk?

I am just about at 40,000 mi.
Brakes are still working great.
My inspection shows they probably have about 20,000 more mi. to go.

The dealer told me that when I went in for service and the rear was wearing faster than the front.

I see recommendations for adding brake fluid but didn't see anyone say that they may need to be bled. While it may be rare on a car to have to do it often, it could restore the pedal feel. I know on my motorcycles they need to be bled about once a year with hard driving.

The rears will wear faster due to the traction control. I once wore out the rears on a track day because I fforgot to turn it off.
