Default OEM Brembo's... How Long Did They Last You

My car has 37,000 mi on it. I took off my Brembo brakes the other day to find that the rotors are in perfect condition, and the brake pads have about 10,000 more limes left on them and have no unusual wear at all. I also had them on the track at Sebring for the day a few weeks ago? I also have 565 whp. I find this strange.

How long are yours lasting?

I just replaced my rotors a few weeks ago after 38,000 miles... after three hard track weekends myself they were pretty beat up. I took the OEM pads off after about 20k miles and they seemed to have about 40% tread left, this was after a single track day. I'm running new Nismo pads this time around so i'll be curious to see how they hold up over time. So far i'm loving the FAR less dust though.

39K, just started squealing about a week ago. Will need new pads for the first time. I drive hard, but no track use.

p.s. open to a recommendation on pads!

32000, oem pads in rear were metal to metal with rotor so i ended up buying stoptech direct replacement rotors with nismo r-tune pads. as far as the front, pads were almost down to metal again and replaced with nismo r-tune pads but this time no damage on rotor but i'm planning on replacing very soon. pretty odd how yours can last 37k, but then again i drive a lot in l.a. traffic.
