how long should V6 brakes last?
I know everyone brakes a little bit differently but in general how many miles should the V6 Stock brakes last? trying to budget for a nicer set up down the road.

I would guess a long time. I only have two data points for a camaro and a couple other vehicles.
At 5K miles my stock brakes are barely worn, less than 1% Had a student with 20k miles on her car and about 2/3 pad, after 2 hours at CMP (really hard on brakes) she barely had enough pad left to get home (200 miles) Totally different car, about the same weight though - my daughters 2008 Chrysler Sebring Convertible had 80Kmiles on the original pads, just replaced the fronts, rears had a little over 50% And then there is the Tahoe, 50Kmiles and at the last oil change the fronts were at 50% and the rears at 75% Guess would be 60K+ |

depends on the driver, but check them at 40,000, most factory brakes will last 60,000

I have over 41k on my original pads and they are still good.

I am at 10,400 or so, got a long way to go. will probably replace them long before there worn out at this rate. hopefully in the next two or three years. thinking slotted rotor and ceramic pads but that is a ways off...LOL. thanks for the replys

I'm at 19,000 and I just ordered dimpled and slotted rotors from brake performance.com. Only reason I am doing this is because I have a bad pad on my drivers side and it's leaving a grove and squeaks really bad when brakes are cool.

As of today, I'm at 80,300 and still going strong with my 2010 1LT/RS (IMB) with the Midnight Silver 20"s. Only maintenance issue was I wore out my clutch at 65,000 because of how I drive. After paying over a grande out of pocket I take it much easier now on the shifting.

I have a ss2 covertible and have 40,000 miles and their about half gone. They tell me the car is about 4000 lb, so I'm doing pretty good.

I have 61k miles on my 2011 2LT/RS with the original brake pads and I was just about to ask the same question?

5 years, 70,000 kms, still running the original brakes. I do suspect they will need replacing soon though. probably another year or so.

Not their fault some people ride the clutch. I was actually told there was 0 warranty on the clutch, brakes, & other wearable items before purchasing the car |
