Starting off, I know this is a very subjective question. What are people's experiences on the life of the brake pads on a 1st gen xB? I drive fairly conservatively and try to be easy on the brakes. Thanks

 

I have about 34k on mine and haven't replaced em yet, even with the turbo and stopping from the hard rev ups and quick stops, haven't heard squealing yet, how many miles does yours have on it?

 

Just hitting 37.5. Thanks

 

so many factors that can determine how long the brakes last, how aggressive you drive, how often your brake, how hard you brake, do you brake while carrying large loads, are you in stop and go traffic on a regular basis etc.

but your in montana, unless your in west montana, you have nither terrain or traffic to contend with.

 

I have almost 45,000 miles on my '05 xB and I'm just now getting down to the metal.

I'm looking to upgrade now.

 

Mine lasted until 38K

-THE DON

 

I have over 60k on my original and still going.

 

I have a little over 30K miles on my Box and I have about 50% left on the pads...

 

i just had to change mine at 85,000, along with the clutch....funny they went out at the same time, like the car knew i had extra money

brent

 

mine lasted about 40-45k miles. That is constant driving and hauling car parts. I used it as a courier vehicle.

 

You must not have been modding enough My car knows I never have extra because it's already taking it all.

 

I bought new pads at 65,000 miles, but when i looked at them the original ones were still 50% left.
Still on the stock ones with an extra set in the tool box.

 

Just went over 50k and still on the orig. set of pads...

 

65,000miles of pure abuse!!!!!

 

33,000 miles

 

Over 86K and still on the originals.

My wife's been through two sets on the Grand Caravan and its only got 30K...

 

26K and no problems yet. I hardly use the brakes though.

 

I'm still on the originals at 43k

 

At 57,500 now and squealing now on my BCP 06'. Any one recommend any good replacement Pads. I usually buy top of the line anything. Especially for my first brand new car.

 

So i just got my brakes replaced and I'm at 44K. They told me my rears were ready to be replaced and my fronts were still like new. So I had them replace my rear brakes and ever since whenever I brake it sounds like I driving with my e-brake on. I'm taking it back to the shop tomorrow but what do you think it could be?
