I have 80k on my front brakes (07 JK 2dr) and they still have plenty of pad thickness left. These are the original pads in front. Rear has been replaced once. I notice no lack of braking power. I do NOT take it easy on them!
What's up with that? How can this be?

Take it back, dealer can fix your front brake problem.

??? Highway miles? I can damn near guarantee you, you wouldn't see that wear time in a city. LOL!!!

I live stop and go traffic every day. I have 55k on the front. Rear had to be done at 20k.

Seems that our JKs bias more of the brake to the rear. I assume it helps keep the nose from diving.

I've got 90k on my fronts with a ton of pad left and my rears were replaced earlier....maybe 50k miles.


So you've got more miles to look forward to on the fronts.

Whatever u do don't buy the cheap pads because that's all my local parts store had and I was around mere miles from Goin metal to metal so I got them..... Man! They squeak an unGodly squeak! I know I can just replace them again but I don't like throwing money away.... God I hope these wear out fast!

I hear you there,went with oem on the rears at 35k with new rotors since they were done.The fronts on the other hand have 76k still look great

I'm at 68k miles and I just did my front pads and replaced front rotors. The pads still had life in them but I had a warped rotor that couldn't be machined so I replaced the pads at the same time. My rear pads still have about 40% life left.
