Who Got The Most Out Of Original Brakes?

[04MRADR]

Got my car inspected this past Monday and passed with no trouble. Mechanic advises me I still have a lot left on my original brakes. I have 116 K on the Marauder and still have original brakes but I also do a lot of highway and turnpike driving which saves them. Just curious has anyone ever gotten more than 116 K on their original brakes? Who has gotten the most?

[Mr. Man]

92K on our originals but I;m going to replace them soon w/ some Frozen Rotors and good pads

[Paul T. Casey]

I went about 175K on the rears. I think I used the metal backing on the liners for the last 5K or so though.

I'm on my fourth set of front brakes on 80K .
Speaking of brakes I have two front rotors with a months use, if anybody is interested.Autozone cheapies.
My Baers were replaced under warranty but I drive it daily and needed to have something while I waited for replacements.

118k...they squeaking but I have more then half the pad left...:dunno:

OEM brakes were changed out at 171,000 miles and still had a lot of life left.....just thought it was time to get new ones!!!:beer:

I drive a lot of highway miles and had two sets of front rotors that I turned whenever they started pulsing a little.....rears were never turned!!:bows:

I tried aftermarket brakes all around with horrible results..........squealing, pulsing, high pedal pressure......so I bought Ford stuff all the way around and will go another 150K++!!!:D

BTW....I currently have 202,000 miles on her...going for 300K!!!:beer::bows:

Ha, I am on my 3rd full set of rotors and pads @39k miles. If you're not burnin em up you're not driving fast enough!

[CRUZTAKER]

50k on the fronts and rears and both appear new.

Fronts have subsequently been removed recently and upgraded.
I pitched the rotors, but saved the calipers, lines, and pads.

I replaced my original rear brakes at 10K and the fronts at 14k. The next set got replaced at 59k for the fronts and 65k for the rears.

I had my r/f hub replaced yesterday @ 77K. It's comforting to know it was made in Cameroon! I was going to put OEM pads and rotors on since they have never been changed but the tech said to save my money for another 5 or 6K. They still have 6mm thickness on them. The rotors have a rust ridge and will have to be replaced so I'll take them to the end. Rear pads, rotors and e-brake shoes (never used) were replaced about 60K

sitting on OG pads at 83k

I purchased new Comand S1 rotors Hawk hps pads front & rear at 50,000 miles. The funny thing is my oem pads & rotors are only now at 95000 miles showing signs of needing to be replaced at 3/4 wear. I have never before had brakes perform or last for so many miles.

Mine made it 30k + 1 weekend at Sebring. :)

[Black Dynamite]

I drive about a 50/50 mix of city and highway and I had to replace mine at 65k........ and I drive like your grandma! :dunno:

that's pretty good considering you brake hard every 1/4 mile both ways.

[Marauderjack]

I replaced mine all around at 171,000 miles and they would have made it to 200K easily!!!:bows:

I did however have two sets of front rotors that I had turned and switched out every 20K-30K due to "Ford Pulsating Syndrome" but the pads were OEM!!:beer:

I have gotten 100K miles out of CV brakes before but the Marauder was far better!!:cool:

[lji372]

brakes? our cars have brakes? only the black ones need'm:banana:

[SID210SA]

I changed mine at about 100K only because my rotors were showing signs of spots and some places very small cracks....pads had a buch left on them though.
