Hi ya all,

The rears depending on how you drive and I used to do a lot of motorwaying and stopping quickly off the off-ramps but they last me 3 years. The only reason I have had to change either the disc was due to age, minimum thickness reached or warping and putting new pads on.

If you park you car for two weeks at an airport for example they are going to corrode but is it soon away after some firm braking.

For the fronts if you drive like a boy racer then they will probably get less than 50k if you are lucky. The OEM/Volvo ones have a taper on them to stop the squeal and help in the dust removal. I use slotted discs on my front and OEM pads and have no problems with longevity

Mark.
