How many miles before you changed brakes?

**Verbeers** · 05-05-2009, 04:39 PM

My 2006 Charger R/T has 24000 miles and the brakes are still very strong no fade. I just wanted to see how many miles before you did your first brake job.

22000 miles. I changed the front rotors and pads last weekend.

Still going strong on mine at 26k. Although after 2.5 years I think they could stand to be bled, pedal feel isn't as good as it used to be.

26k on mine and needed to turn rotors because I got a pulsation but after that all is good, pads have at least 50% left

At 47k mine were still good even after an AutoX day / Road Course and lots of drag racing.

At 47k I swapped in the Brembo's

First set at 84,000 miles, second set at 162,000 before the NJMP Lightning this spring. Both sets had well over 50% but the first set I had baked with a track event on Mont Tremblant and wanted new smooth stuff. My use is 99% highway so it most likley doesn't apply.
