Default rear brake pad (non Brembo)

How fast does eveyone's rear brake pad wear out (non-brembo)??? I just found out that my rear pad wear out (due to loud squeak sound) about the same time as my front at around 25K miles. From my past experience, the front usually wear out alot faster than the rear, so it's kinda unusual to me that the rear wear out the same time as the front.

I already replaced the front to Project Mu B-force, and I am going to replace my rear latest this weekend.

my fronts were completly gone by 29k, at that time the rears looked practically brand new so much meat was left on them it looks like they could possibly go to around 90k at the rate they were wearing.

Lots of people have had the rears wear out first I believe. Not to mention rear brakes melting on the track

+1. I had to change rear pads after 5K miles and 1 track day...front pads were okay until 15K miles. I think if you get the brakes hot, because the reas are fairly small, they'll sorta melt off.

I had 25k miles on a full set of Hawk HPS...the front had 75% of the pad remaining and the rears were at 5% remaining....so I only replaced the rears..took less than an hour too.
