How long did your original factory brakes last before new pads were needed.
Mine are at 34k and still have plenty of meat left on them???

wow, that must be a new record.... do you do a lot of engine braking?

I think most people just do it to get some better components. I know thats what I did!

+1. But now those better components are pretty pricey

squeaking @ 50k, Got kit from buyfordracing for $380 shipped. Installing if i ever get the time. Might not be until christmas break

mine lasted to 115K (kilometers...) (the rears were down to about 1/32 and the fronts were about 40% still) I do alot of engine braking, which is why they lasted a long time.

47k on original brake pads and still decent life left. I guess not driving my car in stop and go traffic helped that. Daily driver FTW!

I recently installed new Brembo slotted rotors, and EBC performance pads all the way around. There's nothing like new brakes... Well, except bigger, better brakes... lol
