^ it's really hard to say, it really depends on the pads that were used with them and how they were used.
You can measure them to make sure they're within spec.

I must be doing something wrong. After 7+ years of autox events and a couple of track days and 46K on the ODO, I still have over half of brake material left. My rotors are still new looking as well.

I have known several members that have taken their stock pads over 60,000 miles without a single issue. They never tracked the car, but drove as aggressively as most of us.
