but if you drive hard, depending on quality of pads/rotors you may see as little as 15,000.
sounds like you got a pretty good life out of yours.

I'm sure I could burn through a set if I ever took time off of work for a track day.

Notice that it's kind of like a gear. The spline count is the number of ridges (splines) around the shaft, like the teeth of a gear.
The Legacy has 25-spline axles, and I'm hoping that my spare hubs will work for it.

Heh, both?
What he's concerned about, since he's talking about swapping hubs, is the wheel end. He's keeping the same axles but needs to make sure the output splines on the axle will mate with the hubs.

And Josh, Subarus are like Legos. Except for the 05+ STI's and the SVX's, everything uses the same hub splines. You should be good to go as far as I know.
Let me know if you need me to track down some axle nuts and get them to you this weekend.
