Comparing my 25k miles rear pads with new ones...

In my opinion , the pads seems to be worn out. But I don't know why it happened with so few miles taking in mind that the front brake pads and tires are ok...
If the rotors aren’t significantly worn & driving in town, I’d keep driving on them. Look for the nanny (TC or VCS) dash light in the upper right corner. It will flash on & off quickly. You should see it in your peripheral field of vision. If that is happening under normal driving conditions, something is wrong. If you’re driving on winding roads and it comes on, that‘s normal. Click that nanny button just once. That‘ll stop those rear brakes from grabbing all the time. It’s incredibly over aggressive imo.

It still remains 3 or 4 millimiters.
Sorry I had a brain fart I guess and read your rear pads were gone after 40 miles... :doh:

Your pad wear looks great honestly, mine look like shit because of track use.
They would also look worse if you had a a blocked cylinder (which would be weird on a new car).

Is your shop (or yourself??) famous for doing crazy burnouts?
Otherwise I have no clue honestly
