What mileage did you replace your brakes ?
Just curious at what mileage are the stock brakes going at? I don't ever track my car but it has 50miles on it now and the brakes are still great! They don't pulse or pull..
So what mileage and did you replace them with stock or aftermarket ? Does it matter it the car is an auto or manual I wonder ? Thanks guys !

I replaced my brake pads with Powerstop Z26 pads very shortly after getting the car at 6k miles. I just couldn't stand the constant brake dust cleaning. Lost a little bit of stopping power, but greatly reduced the dust. About 20k miles later, I installed the Carlyle racing 15" conversion Wilwood brakes and haven't done anything to them for about 25k miles.

Replaced mine after 25 miles with Hawk ceramic pads. No problems with dust and the is grip smooth and predictable.

Replaced mine at about 2500 miles with the Hawk ceramic pads all around. Less brake dust but still alot. I wouldn't buy them again.

Thanks for the info guys! It seems like the pads are getting changed out fairly early in the mileage, what about rotors ? What's everyone doing for them?

My car is at 47k miles now and the front rotors still look great, although they are a bit heat scorched from quite a few 140+mph stops lol
