how long do SS brembos last

[thegreatwhite]

i have a 2014 2SS and i want to know how long the stock brembo brakes will last before you have to replace the pads or other parts.

Completely depends on how you drive the car. I just installed new OE pads and rotors this weekend at 62500 miles and the factory set of front pads were just about have the wear indicator hit the rotors (1/16" or so away). Keep in mind that mine is a daily driver, never been tracked and went through ~58k miles of mostly constant stop & go commuting traffic. I don't brake aggressively but do try to make my drives entertaining.

i have pretty much the same driving. commute on the freeway about 40-50 miles a day. nothing more than normal braking and i dont drive super fast. ya i do get up quick sometimes i like to use the 426 horses but im not driving like on a track at all. im at 34000 miles and for about the past 1000 miles iv had a very high pitched squeak that is audible ONLY when im braking at least like 40% an slowing down between 15 an 5 mph. so this squeak is only audible when im goin slow and i cant really hear it if i get on the brakes pretty hard. not ready to buy new pads already and i dont think it even needs new pads. iv sprayed brake cleaner inside the calipers a couple times but havent taken the wheels an brakes off yet...

Mine had a similar squeak for a long time...maybe the last 30-40k miles - it sucked in parking lots and bumper to bumper traffic. Had the pads checked a couple of times but nothing was ever found to be wrong and still had plenty of pad left. I just learned to live with it. The new set is completely quiet...not a squeak yet.

so there was nothing you could do about it? mine isnt all the time it comes an goes but is getting more often...

It would go away briefly when I washed the car or after driving in the rain, so I was assuming it was likely a build up of brake dust but it always came back. There was no uneven pad or rotor wear on any corner.

damnit. im trying to figure out how to get rid of it

Every time I've had a squeal in the brakes it was one of two things; A) wheels and brakes needed washed or B) I needed to go out and use the brakes like they were meant to be used. 90% of the time, B cures the squeal. Some hard driving and hard stopping and they were silent again.

This may be why my front tires also wore out fairly quickly....

ya i tried goin around the block and stopping from all different speeds at different ranges of braking from lightly to heavily and its still squeaking sometimes when im goin slow. thanks for the input though this advice helps
