Brake Pad Longevity - 10K miles?!

[DGatzby]

This very closely mirrors my brake usage at 53k miles...I replaced the rears anyway because I already bought the pads and everything was apart, but my mechanic said there was a lot left and didn't need to change. I've only ever done burnouts(hundreds of them lol) by footbraking and overpowering the rear brakes too, never have used the line lock in 6+ years.

Darn it!! I forgot to try the line lock last week when I had the OEM set of things on it! Darn it again! Wish you posted this a week ago. Those Pirelli tires need some video action next spring, because I am not using those again even on an emergency/rain track day.

But you have to admit. Best news source and best automobile minds if we have any problems. Especially with our common automobile. Drove mine today for an errand and again, SOB runs too good. Parked it because cannot take it out tonight because the short distance to dinner and not worth all the risks. Damn it!
