How long can I expect OEM brakes to last?

[GRStinger]

I put a lot of miles on my car - 26,000 in ten months (GT2 AWD, 18" squared). No problems with the brakes so far but wondering how long I can expect the rotors and pads to last. Also, degree-of-difficulty to swap 'em out vs. typical vehicle?

With brembos it is ridiculously easy. Takes longer to take the wheels off than to remove the pads.

Yes, as long as the pins don't seize between changes, then you need a sturdy punch, a mallet and some wailing to get them out. Ask me how I know (prior vehicle).

At c. 15K miles the maintenance check said my brakes looked "almost new". But don't use me as a typical example: I'm ridiculously gentle with brakes.
