Street miles on the OEM front brake pads ?

[H-2 CHARLIE]

I got 2080 miles and checked the front pads and i got about 2 mm left ... thinking maybe 800 more miles if best .

I replaced mine at 4800 miles. They also survived 3 track days and some 1/4 mile fun.

just called and checked on price $200 for the both sets up front ....they said a total of 4 mm and i have 2 mm left ...thats two hard runs at malibu cyn and afew turnbull runs and the rest street rides ..2080 miles total

I paid $167 at the dealer for my new front pads. I replaced them with close to 1mm remaining. I stuck with the Brembo pads because they work well and they lasted long enough to feel satisfied. You might want to lay off the brakes and carry more speed in the corners.

You're lucky on on my 3rd set @2,100 miles. About half street 1/2 light track days. Just switched to race pads

There was apost a while ago about the backing pad thickness,think from memory it neeeds to be 4.5mm some aftermarket pads were thinner and could possibly fall out when worn excessively
