at what mileage did you replace your brakes
#26
I just wanted to compare my car with yours, so far 40,000 miles and 50% brakes left. So far I have learned that I am doing better than most. Thats the info I was looking for. Better than watching Oprah!

I must treat my breaks like ****** because I'm fixing to have to throw my 3rd set (in the front) and I'm sitting at 55,000 miles.
They arent shot yet but I'm getting worse and worse squeaking/groaning.

squealing brakes aren't a sign that they need replacing. The early RX-8's had this issue, and there's a TSB to replace the brake pads with less aggressive pads that do not make noise.
I would personally recommend HAWK Ceramic pads. Low dust, no noise

I change mine at 10,000 miles. They were squealing to much so I bought Hawks Ceramic for it . No more squeal. I could have taken it in for the TSB , but i figure what the heck.

I replaced my front brake pads at 30000kms. I now have 41527kms and the rear ones don't need replacing yet...
It depends on how you are driving. Just check them visualy and change them when needed.
