Do brake pads get old when not used?
I have a set used brake pads sitting in my basement and wondering if "aged" pads are useable?

Bertrand Daoust

I'd say no to your first question.

But why put a set of used pads?

How used, with new disks?

BIMMERMIKE

New disks, not sure how "used" but lots of "meat" left.
This would be for rears brakes

Bertrand Daoust

I would try them.

Mike, they will be prefectly fine.

I've used slightly used brake pads from time to time. Often I see cars at the wreckers with nearly new brakes. Owner get a brake job and then 6 month later the transmission pops....car goes to the wreckers with perfectly good pads.

Will use what I have, Thanks all.
