Brake Mileage
I'm just curious...
Why kind of mileage are you guys seeing with your brakes?
It seems like there are a lot of different combinations out there as well as driving styles. So I think it might be cool to get a crowd source of brake data.
Looking for:
Stock Front Pads
Stock Front Rotors
70,000 miles
Regular DD with some AutoX during the last 10,000 miles.
I haven't gone through a lot of brakes but that's what I have so far.
Really, I'm curious as to how much long my rear pads/rotors will last as I haven't replaced them yet and how many miles I can expect to get out of the Hawk HP+ and Centric Blanks I have in the front now.

In a stock 2012 Forester, mostly highway driving, with some back road here and there. Commuting Tracy to Pleasanton, 60,000 miles. The rear pads and rotors were far worse than the front but the indicators were sounding and annoying my wife.
Also, in a stock 2012 Impreza, commuting from Tracy to San Jose, back road and highway mixed, also 60,000 miles. The rears were pretty low, but the fronts had more material left than the forester at 60k.
Both autos, so on the brakes more often.

Was stock 0-30,000. Mainly removed them due to a scored rotor and hoping to see less dust with HPS.
30,000 - 64,000 has been:
Pads - Hawk HPS
Rotors - Adam's Double Slotted/Dimpled
Mileage - ~34K+ so far
Driving Style - Aggressive street/autocross on a rare occasion
Starting to hear the occasional squeal. May be time for a new setup soon!

Pads - Stock
Rotors - Stock
Mileage - 50K
Driving Style - Up to about 47K I was driving this as a DD mostly highway with only 1 or 2 auto X sessions. Pads were fine up until Subiefest Track Day where the fronts were completely worn down (almost to the metal). Rears were not as bad, but definitely in need of replacement. Went with Stoptech's performance street pads a few weeks ago.

I just installed Centric Blanks in the front with Stoptech SP pads at all four corners (rear rotors were fine). I was on OEM rotors with Hawk HPS previously. Can't really comment on the mileage as I had a wheel bearing go out which subsequently toasted the pads on that corner.

Oh, and I'm running the '06-'07 WRX 4/2 pot setup on the RS FWIW. SS lines are going to be installed in the next couple of weeks (didn't have time to get them on this weekend with the steering rack and wheel bearing install 
).

2014 Subaru XV
* Pads: stock
* Rotors: stock
* Mileage: replaced at 10,000 miles, pads were getting close to wear mark and squealer
* Driving Style: spirited (not aggressive) touge (moutain/canyon roads), no centerline crossing.
Mostly mellow daily urban driving.
Pads wore out quickly thanks to many downhill runs on the local mountain roads.
Currently have:
* Hawk Performance HPS pads
* stock Subaru rotors machined for new pads
* Goodridge stainless steel brake hoses
* Endless S-FOUR DOT4 brake fluid
...on the XV, the brakes feel so much better than stock now. I hope I get more miles out of the HPS pads, though I'm don't actually expect that to happen.

When I was on the Wilwood Kit Front 15k on Ht-10 pads 10k and a track day on Porterfield r4s. 70k on dba 4000 rotors with multiple track days. Now Brembo front with project mu hc+ with centric premium blanks 5k miles on them DD out to Stockton looks good still no signs of obvious wear.
To answer you hp+ with centric rotors. It will be hard to tell on a blank but when I ran the ht-10s. You can see obvious wear by seeing the slots disappear. I made those dbas blanks.
Reality hp+ will run through rotors when used hard. Other wise theyre a dusty loud pad with less stopping power than comparable pads in the same price range in similar categories.
