i was just wondering hom long every one elses brakes last compared to mine i am trying to figure how much the lift and tires i have are causing my brakes to wear compared to a stock vehicle, i changed my fronts at 30,000 and my rears are ready to be replaced at 40,000, just for my info, thanks

 

I change my front pads about every 20,000 miles

 

I go through front pads about every year and rears about every other year. Damn stop and go rush hour traffic.

 

I replaced my fronts @ 40k and rears at about 43K so you got what they are good for.

 

I have 112,000 on original factory pads and rotors. 2003 F-150 SCab. Mostly highway miles. I don't stop often. Probably goona change them by end of year.

 

For those that have changed out their pads.
What material brake pad did you use, how many miles on the replaced pads and what is the condition of you rotor????
I have talked with a Ford SM @ Santa Margarita Ford and he states that @ 30K the rotors will be significantly worn down with ceramic pads.
Trust with verification is my moto.
Brand, material, miles and type of driving information needed.

Best Regards,
Frank

 

101,000 and still rolling (er, stopping) with completely original brakes.

 

I changed my f/r brakes at about 50,000 miles and still had a little under half the pad material left. I put Duralast Gold pads from Autozone on my truck and haven't had any problems.

It would vibrate (shimmy) when I first applied the brakes for about 500 miles after the brake change. But it cleared up (the pads need time to seat with the rotor), and now my brakes are smooth as silk, they stop quicker, and have less brake fade than the stockers. :santa:

 

I replaced the front pads on my Screw at around 40,000. I don't do a lot of stop-n-go driving however.

 

Just about all of our commute is highway miles. We generally average at least 40K miles or so before the pads start getting low enough to worry about. I've got almost 30K on my truck and still have almost 10mm worth of lining left on the front.

 

My first set on my Lightning only lasted 4500 miles Pretty sad right. I actually had several cracks right through the rotors . Never seen nothing like it in my life. On the positive side my F-350 S.D goes 45,000 on ford pads. Tried aftermarket on it but never got better than 10,000. Stick with ford pads, theyre the shiznit!

 

well it seems like my lift and tires isnt really afeting my brake pad life, sounds good to me i was just cureus anyway, thanks guys
