Good question!

I just replaced front pads and rotors at 70k miles. Pads pretty much worn away, though I may have had another 0.5mm to the screech indicator.

Took the opportunity to install SS brake lines, and switch to ATE Super Blue.

Most of my commute is freeway miles.

 

bought my teg used, at 60,000 and the brakes were great, so im thinking they got em done around then.

 

You guys that are over 75,000ish are lucky! :bowdown: That is awesome! D@*# city driving! :upset: :lmao:

 

I got my teg April '03 and about a week later or so, I got new brake pads and put them on. When I got the car it had about 70-something thousand miles on it and now I have about 114-something thousand on it and I'm just now needing brakes (the whole package- pads, rotors, etc)

EDIT: About 50,000 miles.

 

40-50K up front, about twice as much for the backs. Little over 100K before front rotors went, 120K before backs were shot. Front rotors wore prematurely because of a frozen caliper at around 100K. Vacuum booster went at 130K. PITA to fix.

100% rural driving.

 

:thinking: At 95K, I relplaced the fronts, then at around 102K I replaced the rears. Obviously the rears weren't the original pads. <<EDIT: Then again, maybe they were original. h: >> If I had to guess, I'd say the fronts are good for about 35K, rears maybe 45K... but I do a lot of rural and mountain road driving. h:

 

front at ~80k, rear at 135k all original pads (it's been my car since 1994)
It's a matter of how hard you drive it. If the next light is red
I stop pressing the gas even if I'm far away. Personal choice.
