Hmmm ... a brake job at 33,000 miles? I guess they do wear out quicker. I’ve got about 80,000 so far without a brake job.
You must be one of those people that coast down the highway in the fast lane and when I pass you on the right you flash your high beams at thinking you got me good...;-)
I had a 91 Chevy Cavalier that had “organic” brake pads. I was lucky to get 25k out of them, the rotors lasted 50k. My Cobalt has the ceramic linings, the original set lasted 110k miles, still got the original rotors, though I have 170k on the car and they’re going to need to be replaced soon.
I routinely need them at 30-35,000 miles for 99% city driving.
128K here on the Silverado. Looking to get a set soon though.
