Why should I get my brakes checked asap? I intend on changing pads and shoes this weekend. I may also flush out the brake fluid and coolant one time. We'll see.

Why should you get your brakes checked? Are you kidding? You've done over 400,000mi and said that you have no idea what % pad you have left, for all you know you could be running piston onto rotor.

Also brake fluid, like most automotive fluids dont last forever http://www.aa1car.com/library/bfluid.htm.

Rather than you be invovled in a crash because you could not stop your vehicle due to brake failure i'd rather you have your brakes looked at. It would be a heavy burden to wear if you killed or injured someone and also your insurance policy probably states in it somewhere (assuming you have insurance, no offense intended) that you must keep your car roadworthy to be covered by the policy.

He said "why check them ASAP?" Because he plans on changing the pads this week. Same reason that you wouldn't check your oil level when you're about to go for an oil change anyway.

Also, it isn't like he hasn't checked once in 400K. In past threads, he has made it clear that they were checked periodically and it was determined that the pads had very little wear since it was 98% highway miles requiring no brakes.

So Trini... when are you going to post up a video?

Also, do you have exterior shots following the paint job you just got?

It's the 400K milestone video I'm waiting for. That is for the 354K.
