How many miles did you go before replacing brake pads?

Shouldn't this be :moved:

Just look at the pad wear...It should be a good indication.

About 55 000 miles, which took me three and a half years to get. They were squeaking pretty bad when I was merely in motion, it was embarassing, but I finally got the pads changed a week ago. I imagine the pads were pretty low though, I use to drive the car pretty hard, that goes with braking too.

[cheddar-rod]

When I bought my car it had 36000 and the pads were bad the car now has 60000 and pads are going bad so I say a little less then 40000 miles is all your gonna get without running them dangerously low.

I ran mine for nearly 50K, and they weren't squeaking that badly. Just decided to change them while I was getting everything else done.

*please note: I'm not the idiot who tries to accelerate to full speed just to slam on the brakes between lights, nor do I have to brake whenever the road isn't straight. ;)

[SickCelica696]

I got about 127k mi out of my first set, they still didn't need to be changed, I just upgraded the brakes anyways

[Smaay]

i have over 100,000 and im still on the stock pads. driving style all makes the difference. i do alot of engine braking so i dont use the brakes as much

[booyaolian]

90k

[TaeMachine]

My car has 86k miles (with monthly autocrosses) and I'm still on the original pads.

At 80K with 33% of the pad still left. i have over 100,000 and im still on the stock pads. driving style all makes the difference. i do alot of engine braking so i dont use the brakes as much :werd:

[Celica402GTS]

75k..mine look pretty damn thin..wasn't squeaking or nothing..i just want to change them out..both front and rear were thin..about 1/8th of an inch left or less..maybe..i dunno..

[WHITEKNIGHT2000]

I got 95k front stock pads and still had life to them. I usually engine brake too but lately I'm afraid to cause my clutch is slipping pretty bad after I run it hard for even maybe 1 time through the gears off a light. So I usually go to neutral then use my brakes for now. What's a good clutch to go to?

[omabramo]

first front pads went at anout 30-33k.
then i went for the cheap stuff, and got semi-metallic pads from murray's...
now, my front wheels are literally always covered in brake dust

[GTS 6speed]

I changed my stock pads and rotors at 63K miles since the rotors were warped I just bought aftermarket pads and rotors. They are working perfectly with about 20K miles on them almost.

[wnanna]

When did yall change your clutch b/c it was worn too badly? Miles and Years used

[WHITEKNIGHT2000]

Mines got 95k on the clutch and I think it's time. When it's really cold out or if I run it a little hard, the clutch slips.

[xav3x]

100k, and i still have alot left... i engine brake alot. And i don't run towards stop lights/signs. It's all driving style.

[ZaneMan]

I got about 45k and still had probably 5k left until I changed to some stronger pads, the rear should last alot longer then the front being the front brakes are doing most of the work.

[chipwich]

So far my stock brake pads are getting thin, but still good @ 70k miles. However, I did have to change the clutch which started slipping at about 50k. So I may be more heavy on the downshifting than braking.

106K mi.
