how often do you replace your brakes?
how often do you replace (about how many miles) your front brake pads (assuming those wear out before the rears)?

It all based on your individual driving habits and how much braking you do. For instance, I havent had to replace my brakes yet on my '02 with +30K miles. Theres a built in squeek indicator on the front brakes that are suppose to let you know when its time to replace your brakes. Personally, I would just keep an eye on the amount of pad you have left and replace them when its gets thin.

Rep Power: 335 I have the og rear pads
The front rotors I have to get turn for the second time because they are warpped and I might have to replace the pads depending on how the pads look. I have replaced the front pads about a year ago.

Rep Power: 356 I replace my brake pads and shoes every time they wear out.... 
Seriously though, My 1st set of Stock pads lasted some 60,000 miles.... with 1 season of autocross on them too.
