Stock Brake Life?

Under "normal" driving, what is the average life of stock 02-03 WRX brakes?

Thanks for the input.

i don't know if this helps, but I've been doing some hard braking for the last 25k and still no squealing.

I think the stock break pads are a little to aggresive for the rotors, my pads were fine but I chewed through rotors pretty quickly, so I upgraded to ceramic coated Hi heat rotors with some carbotech pads, and I couldn't ask for a better breaking setup while not going on hock for a big break kit.
