With only 24k mi., the pads 'should' still be in good shape. Properly driven, pads should last 35k mi. or so.

Of course, Track days, DE's or Auto-X (even a few) will decrease the number of expected miles.

I still think you have an issue with old brake fluid, but possibly glazed rotors or MC as well. Pull a wheel and inspect the pads and rotors, that will tell a lot. Also, check your brake fluid level.

But with an '04 it's probably a good bet that it's running on it's original fluid. Change that out and see if that doesn't satisfy you.
