FYI for powerstop users
I just put my winter tire set on and noticed my rear Powerstop pads were worn . Looks like they have about 30% material left. I installed them at 26K miles and I now have 47K. All DD use and not track. They are the E26 8010 rear pads. I'm not heavy on brakes so I would consider this normal. The front set looks like 50% left so these should last another 10-15K . So just wanted to give all an update. I just order a set from Amazon . Enjoy the ride.

I had 30k on P26 on my C7 with low wear. I typically don't wear brakes out until almost 70k, other drivers are lucky if they get 35k. I bet the factory Brembos won't make it until 50k with the way the dust...meaning wear. I am easy on brakes. I see loads of drivers every day who fly from light to light laying on the brakes at each light. If I see red light ahead I back off and glide..... The only times I am hard on brakes us tracking and on sport runs through mountains. I installed P26 almost immediately on my C8 and at 26k, there is loads of life yet...at least 50%. It is more about how you drive than the brake product.

I had to see where you're from. I do this too, let off the gas when there's a red light coming. Those that race from light to light end up passing and cutting in front of me... I just mutter "you win...".
