    50K miles/ Same Brake pads

    My magnum has 50k miles on it. I bought pads for front and rear, drop all four tires and HOT DAMN, the pads are only halfway down. I'm thinking I can get maybe 75k out off them before changing.

    All depends on your driving style as well - I compared my stockers to the set I got from a group-buy a while back and mine look damn near new at 38K.

    My Dad put 170,000 miles on his little red Chevy Barretta and it still had all the stock parts under it. "Brakes are for stopping, not slowing down, Plan ahead!" was his mantra when teaching us how to drive - my brothers called him "Mr. Smooooooth" behind his back.

    He gave that car to my sister, who managed to completely destroy all moving parts within 15,000 miles, without actually hitting anything.
