i am interested in upgrading brake pads to some performance pads and was wondering about how many miles i can get out of the stock pads. im at about 22,000. also any suggestions on any really good quality and performance brake pads to use with oem rotors? thanks for any advice

all depends how hard you drive,...i mean, i made mine last 50k miles, my friend had his last 20k

B serious

No idea how many YOU can get out of the stock pads. It depends really heavily on driving habits. More than "i drive agressively" or "i drive normal" is needed. There's too many factors.

Rough estimate? 20k-50k. Give or take 20-50k. lol.

If you're just street driving the car, leave the stock pads on. They're more than good enough for street driving...even if you are driving like the rice burglar.

I am the said rice burglar on curvy roads and I am at 40k on the original pads though I do notice them getting soft.

I am going to keep OEM pads for the street and track pads for the track. No real need for performance pads for the street.

What are you looking to use the car for?

Recommendations will change dependent on what the car will be used for. Any planned auto-x or track days? Do you just want something better for the street?

all depends on the driver

my car is mainly for street use but i am an aggresive driver. i do plan on gettin into some autocrosses and want a pad which will have exception perferformance yet still be streetable.

25k on my07...

the better the grip a pad has the shorter the life. you can get pads that will almost never wear out - but they stop like a train when in 2-3 miles...
