how long should the factory brake pads last. isnt it like 100k for normal driving. so about 75k would be a good time to change them out for hard driving? also what are some good pads that arent a crap load of money.

 

WOW! I would love that...

Ive been through 3 sets and im at about 80k

 

70K miles and still on original set. It's about time for a pad change and rotor resurfacing though. Much better than my old 98 F-150. I went through 3 sets of pads, and 1 set of rotors in 50K miles, plus A LOT of brake dust.
I plan on doing a brake job at 75K miles. New pads all around, and resurfacing the rotors. I priced OEM pads at the local dealership, and they want $140 for the front and $140 for rear! JUST FOR PADS! I'm sure you can get pads for $50-60 bucks at a parts store, but I want a good quality pad thats easy on brake dust. Anyone running aftermarket pads??

 

i've heard the carbon fiber pads are best and put off the least amount of brake dust i'm at 64k with stock pads on mine. but i have a set of albany pads i'm gonna put on for a while till i can afford a baer setup with carbon fiber pads

 

I have 104k on mine and they look almost new still. Everytime I rotate my tires the guys are saying I am full of crap because i tell them I havent changed them yet. When ever i have to change them I want the same ones i have noew

 

you told me you changed them before bitch.....you get your headers on yet?

 

I've heard Hawk pads are supposed to be good. I plan on trying these when mine decide to wear out. Stock pads at 68k and still quit a bit left.

 

almost 50K and still lots left. on my old car i would change them out ever month

 

Maybe that says something about your driving habits.

I've got 54k and still have a lot left on my original pads

 

93K HARD MILES AND STILL LOOK GREAT!I'D PUT GM PARTS BACK ON.
