  • Haow many miles for brake pads?

    Just like the title says, how many miles should I expect out of my 01's stock pads?

    Depends. On your driving pattern (city, highway, stop and go, etc.) And on your driving style (gentle stops, agressive stops).

    I have 76000 miles on my original pads... Most (first 50k) of those miles were highway miles put on in the first two years.

      85k on originals, and they still look good. I would think if you have an a4 you will use your brakes more than an m5.

        Wow, 85k on stock pads? Insane ... I have an A4, and my fronts started squeaking at 30k miles!! I just got an OEM replacement, but if I could do it all over again, I'd do GM DuraStops.
