I was still on the original pads and rotors on the front of my '99 when
I sold it at 58K.

Same for the '03, original brakes all around when I traded it at 38K
last year.

I attribute both to doing my own tire rotations and torquing the lugs
properly every time, instead of letting a gorilla w/ an impact wrench go
NASCAR on them.
