My front brakes (S) went about 32,000 and I changed them out before a track day with probably another 5,000 left on them. After going to Watkin's Glen and Lime Rock, plus 10,000 miles, the second set are half worn out. Still on original rears.

My front rotors showed a lot less wear after 40,000 miles than my wife's BMW 530i which I changed at 40,000 miles. She only went through one brake pad with no aggressive braking to wear them out. They might have gone another 20,000 miles but it seemed like a good time to go to low dust pads and frozen rotors. I expect to use 3 brake pads before my front rotors go.

Pagid Blues are supposed to be awesome on the track, but since I am still getting over a year out of stock pads, and they never fade on me since I went to ATE DOT 4 brake fluid, I'm sticking with the stock S pads.
