These guys are the factory Lexus pads. I'm pleased with the mileage I got out of them. Probably would have lasted till the end of the year. What's a good amount of mile for pads anyway? Rears lasted about 55K
Dealer tried to change em for me at 500 dollars, I naturally said no. Threw on some clearance Centric that cost me 12 bucks, bed them in with my buddy's procedure (80-90mph to 0 in a heartbeat a few times). Didn't go faster as I'm trying to take it easy since the pistons/rings have less than 200mi on em. Those dang pads are awesome, couldn't believe the deal I got! Rotors seemed meh, ok..left em alone. Flushed the fluid while was at it.
Have Thermoquets with some fancy carbon rotors w/black paint on standby (I honestly thought the Centrics were going to be typical $12 pads)
