The ones that my car has have been on the car since I bought it at 77K miles. Its at 107K now, as of today.  I don't know what brand they are though. I have some Mintex A/Fs ready to go on it as soon as I get some cash together. I had to do the drums at 90K. They were Ford parts.

My stock pads lasted until around 50-55K...I'm at about 83K on the Performance Friction pads I replaced the stock pads with.

Replaced stock fronts with Baer big brake kit @32,000; I am now at 65,000 and still going(err, stopping, that is, strong. Rears are still stock as I have sworn not to change them until I replace the drums with discs.
A little off topic but does anyone know the replacement pads for the Baer's?

My factory front pads lasted until ~77K miles, when I changed them bc of grinding. As I removed them, one of the pads just fell off the backing plate!

64,400 kilometers, replaced all original pads. The front pads showed signs of wear and cracking across the surface. I could have gone longer on them, but decided in the interest of saftey to replace them. The rear pads were down to the thickness of a couple sheets of paper, and in fact self destructed when the caliper was removed for painting. CM.

I had under 25k when I had the pads and rotors replaced under warranty. Rotors heavily cracked. The factory pads they put back on felt awful. A week later I pulled them off and replaced the pads With EBC Greenstuff and the Charred brake fluid. Less than 3 months later, the rotors are again being replaced under warranty. Again heavily cracked. I will post pictures soon. The EBC's apply alot more friction (heat) than the stock pads. Which is probably why something that took 2 years to accomplish the first time, the second only took 3 months. If you are staying with your stock calipers and want to increase breaking performance, go with the EBC pads. I have been very happy. Now I just have to find rotors that can take the heat.
