pretty much just that. sofar i have 61000 on my original brakes and im finding this very weird.

 

Seems pretty normal to me, unless you track the car often.

 

nah never went to the track with this one. im just used to cars needing them at like 35k or so

 

Lucky...... I had to change mine at 30,000

 

what car are you compareing them to?

 

you're getting really good wear out of your pads. my mom gets that amount of miles on her brake pads before she needed to get them replaced lol.

i had to change mine at 25k

02 wrx did them at 25k
98 rs did them every 15kish
98 r which was tracked was about every 5-10k

 

my integ with 70k still has its oem rotors. pads, im not sure but it might be since its very low right now

 

59K+ miles, still going.

 

i got about 40k on my original pads.........

 

I have about 45k on my factory pads. The wear of the pads also has to do with traffic conditions and how much you really use your brakes. I thought it was weird also how I had so many miles on factory pads.

 

25k out of stockers

 

'06 civic EX 4dr i went 18k on my factory rear pads and 23k on my factory fronts. Just had to change the rears again at 40k fronts still have 5.50mm left. these factory pads are about $60.00 a set at the dealer.

Why would your rears fade faster than your fronts? Doesn't sound right to me. And, buy the pads that are $20 a set from Advance or Autozone. You're wasting your money. You can always buy parts and have the dealer install them if you want them to do the work.

 

I do the brake myself and factory pads for me have a good feel and handle the hard braking i some times do in canyon driving. the rear pads were wearing like they were not flat to the rotor. I put pressure gauges at the brake lines btween the master cyl. and the system, the rears have pressure before the fronts get pressure. That leads me to believe that the split is more to the rear for better braking and less dive in the nose.

 

30k miles on my car so far on oem pads. lots of "spirited" driving too.

 

41k and still going.
