Brake Question

Anyone have an average life span of the stock brakes? 25,000 miles perhaps?

depends on driving style and commute... but 25k-30k is a good guess for the average driver...

on my old '01, the sensors never went off and the pads were worn down to bare metal backing plates at 33k miles...

I got only 22K from the OEM pads, but over 55K from a set of Mintex pads.

what about the rotors, do they last a lot longer?

I got 46k miles from front pads & rotors...
orig. rears are still going at 52k+ miles.

Driving environment will have all the affect
on your brake mileage.

I just got my rear replaced today at 21.6k miles, the front was done at 18.6k miles. But I drive it up and down the hills of San Francisco, and it really wears out the brakes, so 25k to 30k I think would be more the norm.

At least I am going to get two free sets from the maintenance warranty
