[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1441386, member: 19880"] Pad lifetime depends on how and where you ride. Longer life if you do mostly highway and shorter in mountain twisties with aggressive braking. I think I got 65,000 miles or so out of my OEM pads on my '07. Did a little better with the second set (EBC HH) - mostly because I swapped them around (inside-outside) to balance wear. I usually go one and a half to two sets of front pads for every set of rear pads. Sometimes, the front lower right pad pair does not get changed with the others - these pistons are actuated by the rear brake circuit only and typically see less wear if you habitually use more front brake. You shouldn't have an issue yet (especially using OEM pads and rotors) but it is a good habit to inspect and check rotor thickness with a micrometer when you change pads. I have heard of a few that ended out below the minimum thickness spec. (Carbone Lorraine pads were responsible for excessive rotor wear in at least one case.) I still had the original rotors on my '07 at 186,000 miles when I sold it - worn but still within spec. [/QUOTE]
