27k seems normal for that car. They don't last very long as a rule.

About 50$ for a set of fronts.

Owners who are not familiar with Nissan Performance cars usually miss the correlation between best in CLASS stopping and fast wear from pads and rotors.
Redesigning brakes to increase longevity usually adds NOISE and decreases street stopping distances especially in cold weather or the first
warm up stop.
The fore aft balance is finely set with individual pad friction coefficients to squeeze every foot out of the rears........changing this balance will shift wear rates fore and aft.

My front Brembos lasted about 25k miles under regular heavy abuse. Stop-and-go in So Cal is like 70mph-to-0mph constantly. The brakes are working well though.
