I have 11,000 miles on my IX and was wondering how much more life i should expect out of the front and rear pads. I dont track the car and do some spirited driving from time to time. thanks

 

My REAR pads wore out before my fronts. At about 16K I had to replace them. Then at about 18K I had to replace the front pads. That was just MY situation. I to do not track the car...but I do drive hard.

 

is it normal for the rears to go before the fronts?

 

depends on your car some wear differently than others. my drivers side front and passenger rear wore out first so i replaced all at 30k

 

20k here and both front and rear brake pads are very good. 50% of the time I drive aggressively, however I do downshift and engine brake quite often. Clutch is still very good too ... still waiting for both to wear out so I can throw in some Hawk HPS and Heavy Duty clutches!

 

I had to replace front and rear pads at 24,500 miles. Passenger rear was the worst.

 

MY fronts were almost done at around 13,000 miles. At 13,500 miles i did an overhaul of my brake system (baer 2-piece, ferodo ds2500, stoptech lines, super blue)...

I guess it depends how you drive the car... I have even heard for pads going in less than 5000 miles from people who tracked their car like crazy!!!

 

35K here, replaced with autozone pads and never looked back

 

^^ 35K for me too. My rotors had to be replaced too since I had a few autoX days as well as a few canyon drives Hawk pads all the way around this time.

 

Same here.

 

I'm at 16k and my rears are just starting to hit the squealers I have several autocross events and many twisties cruises on my car.
