[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 998364, member: 61743"] All the above is good advice. How long brakes last depend on how and where you drive. When I used to work in Downtown Pittsburgh I had a Mustang that I'd change gears maybe 8 times and I was on the highway to work. Got 97k out of the original rear brakes and over 100k on the original clutch because they simply didn't get used a lot. The other thing, as Eddie said, is the wheel cylinders. If they're a little sketchy then the rear brakes may not be operating properly and that's why they're not wearing out. On a lot of cars if the front brakes are getting roasted pretty fast the problem isn't really with the front brakes, it's from the rears not doing their share of the work. [/QUOTE]
