For those of you who drove on your OEM pads until you had to replace them, how many miles did you get out of them? And if you replaced them prematurely, how much pad did you have left with what miles you had?

 

I think there were multiple different brake sets in 2005. I've got a 6mt which has the larger set, and the originals have been going for 50K miles with plenty left now. 6mt does allow you to use less brake, so they can last longer.

 

I believe in back in 05, there were 2 different sets of brake system. I have the 2005.5 which has the larger pads...but mine's 5AT...I'm sure 6MT pads will last longer due to more usage of engine braking...my car barely broke 35.5k on the odometer...

 

70k on mine. 2005 6mt sport

 

30K on my girlfriend's 06 G35 rear pads.

 

32k on my 5AT. Change the rear brake pad and have less then a 1/4 left.

 

05 with 34K and still on the OEM pads F&R with still some meat on them.

 

2005, just shy of the 50k mark!

 

31k but mostly NYC driving

 

2005X had the smaller 03-04 style brakes, the 2005-2006 RWD and 2006X had the bigger "improved" brakes. My fronts have outlasted the rears, the rears needed to be changed at 35K. My factory original fronts still have about 1/3 pad left at 46K.

 

06 6mt coupe 30K, but i autcross twice a year.

 

50k then i went with Project Mu B-Force...

 

I replaced mine at about 40K, the fronts had maybe 30-40% left, rears slightly more.
