i have a 00 with 52000miles on it and have never changed the brake pads or rotors ever!! is that normal?? my mechanics said that the pads are still good for another 5000miles maybe. they don't make any noise, just the rotors are a little uneven.

wow you must be a light foot!

Alister

To put it in context, how many miles/kilometres have you done??

alexchou

i'm sorry but what do you mean by that?

RazorV3

well he already said he has 52,000 miles on his car.

Alister

Ahh yes, good point.

I have 45,000 and I still haven't changed my pads....Must be the freeway driving.

Miles have nothing to do with it.. it is brake applications. A dedicated highway car can go >200K and not need brakes (or a clutch).

I was on the wear indicators for my pads at 29k. But I also park on the third story of a parking garage at work, I think the frequent trips down the ramps don't help me much.

im over 60k and still on the original pads.
