This depends entirely on how the car was driven.

My pads went out at 21,000 miles with mild spirted driving.

Damn. you guys got a lot of miles off the stock pads. I got 18k before my rear brakes started to squeal and grind my rotors. I need pads bad and every vendor was either out of stock or wait time of a week. I ended up picking up endless pads after three days of searching.

Great info there...dont know what I would've done if I didnt have that little fact.

I got 23k out of my fronts. Two auto-x and some real spirited street driving. Backs are being replaced some time next week whenever the pads get here. I should have just done all four wheels at the same time. I probably only have 300mi on the new front pads.

The Hawk HPS is what I am using and I agree with the less dust from these pads.
