I have over 50,000 and breaks have plenty left.  Of course I have rarely used them.  (thats that pedal near the gas pedal right?

I also depends on the terrain you drive on most often (ie hilly or flat, curvy or straight).  I think for some cars there is a difference in pad wear between Manual and Automatic trannies too.  If you're more of a manual + engine breaker, your pads will last longer than an automatic.  For what it's worth, I have about 100K on our daily driver, but where I live, its flat flat flat...and straight, so not much need for brakes :)

I killed my stock front pads with 15k miles.

Oh but there were 5 track days in there :)

I swapped the Rotora for the front stock kit when the pads weared out, this was when the car had 8k miles...

It depends on the pads and the driver.

I bought a set of EBC reds for the rear (front calipers) yesterday and I hope they will be better than stocks.
