I think it all depends on how you drive. I have been told that some of the good ones will last around 50K. But you have to consider if you are a city driver or a highway driver.

50,000+ on stock original pads, and I autocross!!!

I need to change them, not because they are worn out but because I need to have better braking for my autocross.

this is bad but i have u beat, i got new ones at 13k miles, they were sure that the pads must have been angled wrong or osmethin to already be bad, so they pulled 'em off and i had already began to scratch the rotors so they had to be machined as well.... since then i'm at 45k and these are workin great, but i just used to go a lil hardcore on my breaks....
