How long are your stock brakes lasting? Mine have 5,000 miles on them and I do mostly rural driving with a little bit of city mixed in.

 

This was the only bad thing my dad saw in his G35x, he had to replace the stock brakes at about 20k miles...However he mostly sits in traffic for about an hour every day so that mightve played a role. He has different brakes on it now and theyve lasted from 20k miles till now with no problems (67k miles)

 

the 05-06 brakes last quite a while. I would estimate the fronts to last (50-60 k miles) and the rears to last 40k miles when driving with a 80/20 (hwy/city) usage.

 

What about the '05 X?

 

Those have the carryover setup from the 03-04 sedans and coupe (non-brembo). I don't have them, but I think the consensus from this site is that they last about 30K miles for the fronts if you're lucky. Someone else with first hand experience should probably chime in though.

 

oh my 2003 sedan with 100% oem setup. 25k for front and 60k for rears..

 

mine lasted 15k.
Now 110k later I'm finally getting ready to change my stop tech rotors.

 

I've read tons of reviews with people saying they've replaced their brakes with just 10,000 miles on their 03-04 and 05 X models

 

2003.5 sedan
28,000 miles on front pads and rotors
38,000 miles on rear pads and rotors

 

What is your commute like and how are your driving habits?

 

Vehicle has never been a daily driver. Vehicle sees about 5,000 miles per year. I would say miles are a split between regular roads and highway. I'm pretty easy on the car.

 

Mine is rural with a little city mixed in...I'd be lucky to see 30k
