i have 42k miles on stock brakes and rotors, according to last dealer inspection, they are still only about half worn, so i should expect about 80k miles. the key to long brake life is to use the brakes only to stop at traffic lights or stop signs. i hardly ever use the brakes when driving. it helps to keep a long enough following distance that when someone in front of me brakes, i just let off the gas.
