What's going on. I was wondering around how many miles your brakes were lasting in yout SS/TC. I am about to change both front and rears soon. I have about 39k on them, and it's my daily driver. I drive my car like an old man, so i am not abusing them. So let me know how long the stock brakes and rotors lasted for your cars

My fronts have almost 61k and are still fine. The rears got replaced at 22k and have been fine since.

And its a high preformance pad its going to wear faster.

I'm coming up on 50,000 miles on the original front pads. I changed the rears around 18k because of the sticking rear caliper issue that plagues us LNF guys.

They are looking rather low but no issues yet. I plan on replacing them this spring with new slotted rotors and sticking with the OEM pads.

Looks like I have about a quarter inch of pad left, a little over 15000 miles.
