My Euro is 4.5 years old with 108000km on clock, still on stock pads and discs. Approx. 60% of my travel is on highway.
I have been waiting to hear from service department the need of pad replacement since 60000km service. but those humble stock pads still going strong.
I guess my car being a manual car, doesn't rely that much on brake alone during stopping.
That and you don't use the brakes much on the freeway.
couple of times i've hard braked but not enough yet as very hard to do it during driving to work and all. I've done about 5 of 80-60 and about 3 60-40 but not enough yet....

Yeah, it does take a lot of effort to run those pads in, but once you do, the difference is like night and day. I ran mine in after 3 months of driving gently.... I thought biting force was shit, until I did the hard running in and now it bites very very well!
leaving stains on my rotors too duno whether its cause i need to change fluid or just the pads themselves.
Brake fluid doesn't leave stains because they stay in the caliper and brake line. If they don't, then you will notice it. Stains don't matter. Your rotors rust if you park in the rain anyway. lol. As long as they are not gooved or warped.
