l67ss Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Just curious how long cheap parts house pads usually last. I have put over 10k HARD miles on mine and they still look new. Not bitching just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertISaar Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 brake parts tend to last me forever..... i'm fairly certain the factory drums and shoes were replaced at ~150K. pads..... anywhere from 30-50K, i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumiLTZ Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 I got around 60k miles out of the front brakes on my Lumina... Rear discs I'm lucky to get 30k out of them. I do drive the car pretty hard in the heavy stop/go DC traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 when I first started driving my car, I put all new pads, calipers, rotors, SS brake lines on it, and those are the same pads that are on there. I think that was about 8 or 9 yrs ago. I dunno how many miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairdo12 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 93 and older rears lasted me about every other oil change if I was lucky. I almost made it a full year with my old Lumina once. Swapping 94+ I made it three years and then sold the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l67ss Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Guess ill clarify my setup. Stock front rotors and calipers, complete gen 2 rear suspension and brakes. Tsw 18s with 225/45/18s front and 245/45/18s rear thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imp558 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 This is an apples vs oranges kind of thing too, we have different grades of pads. I run cheap fiber pads because I'd rather wear pads than rotors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l67ss Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 That my logic too. Ive also noticed the "cheap" pads seem to stop a hell of a lot better. My pads front and rear cost $31 with tax together This is an apples vs oranges kind of thing too, we have different grades of pads. I run cheap fiber pads because I'd rather wear pads than rotors.
