I have heard as little as 40k all the way up to 80k for pad life,me personally 53k. I have put on the Pagid pads offered by ******************************** AZ,$130 New front and back. I LOVE IT,after getting rid of the worn pads and replacing with Pagid its like a completely different brake system. I have only driven 50 miles on them though,darn work,college and barber are all on same street 3 miles from my house.
