Front rotors resurfaced at 6,000 miles
Front pads and rotors replaced at 7,500 miles
Front and rear pads and rotors replaced at 10,000 miles (should have been done sooner but infiniti consumer affairs jerked me around for a while)

Had front pads/rotors and rear pads only replaced for the first time under warranty at 31,500 on my late 04 sedan. Supposedly the fronts had over 50% pad left and the rears had 75% left. But I have a long road trip coming up and wanted them changed out without risk of going over 36K miles. Front rotors were only slightly dished. Rears still looked pristine. So compared to most, I guess I was getting real good wear. I drive about 50 miles a day, with 44 miles of that being freeway miles. They said when I get back they'll replace the rear rotors for free if needed.
Brake Pads replaced under warranty!!!!
I did not you could do that? Isn't this considered to be a wear and tire item?
I replaced my pads myself at 36K with Ferodo. The OEM still had lots of life but I didn't like the way it was holding

On my '04, at 15k, my fronts were down to just under 3mm, so they were replaced, and it's not my driving, I have always gotten a minimum of 40 out of front brakes on every disc brake vehicle I have owned. BTW, glad I got the '05, no black wheels even after two weeks!
2004 coupe 5AT... one set front pads at 15k and resurfaced rotors... im at 24k right now and i think i might need to change all 4 pads and front rotors... rears look good
