60k on a set of front pads? I either commend you for your excellent
anticipatory
driving or condemn you for holding everyone else up by creeping about at 15mph.
I consider myself a 'light' brake user, set of pads lasts about 25k. Rear
shoes
last 'forever' or until a slave leak.
What peeves me is having to replace parts I replaced only a few thousand miles
earlier, whilst other (original) parts just keep going.
