BRAKES WEAR FASTER THAN EXPECTED!

Bought these brakes for my 2014 Honda Accord Sport because of all the positive reviews! And let me just tell you, don't be fooled! I installed the brakes 2 weeks ago, they fit perfectly and don't make any noise as advertised. I thought I had made a sensible purchase until I took my car to the dealer for an oil change today, only to find the brakes were almost half worn! I figured that couldn't be true since it's only been 2 weeks. I had to see the mechanic in person and it's true! Told the mechanic I bought the Amazon brakes and she told me this was a general lesson (in this case, you get what you pay for): don't skimp on car brakes, buy OEM, they're guaranteed to last over 8 years Months ! I also ordered the front brake from Bosch, but based on my findings I will now send it back and only get the OEM brake pads! I only see this as a good buy if you install the brakes yourself every few months and then only pay for parts. In my case I have to pay the mechanic $50-80 for the labor plus the cost of the parts, its not worth it! I've had my previous Good OEM brakes for over a year so I will go back to them and never buy brakes from Amazon or Auto Zone like my mechanic instructed.
