Not unheard of... Eslai needed new brakes all around at his 20K interval on his 05 S, if you remember his post.

Assuming you're not "overly agressive" with the car, I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're an early clutch-presser when braking. 9 times out of 10, when watching someone else drive a manual I'm amazed by how early they put the clutch in when slowing down. Even in 5-6, there's no need for this, and as soon as you put the clutch in you're getting zero benefit from engine compression, it's all brakes at that point.

Perhaps this does not apply in your case...but anyway...Go Cowboys... I'm psyched for this year.
