Yeah it depends on where you are located, I drive in essentialy a city. IE speed up to 30-40 and slam on the brakes. I go as easy as possible but when the guy in front of you stops you must as well. Even when I'm on the highway its usualy stop and go.
If I lived out in the country with those nice empty two lane 50mph roads I'd never have to do brakes either.
Here is a tip, never buy a car from a Realtor, they see a lot of harsh city driving. Oh well goes with the job, whatever the $60 I paid for the parts is a tax write off anyway.
The front rotors have a pretty good lip after only one set of pads, I think I will swap them out this winter.
