    I've got 124K on my original front pads and rotors. I had the new parts ready when I took it to my dealer for the 120K service, but they said it didn't need them yet. Yeah, I'm sticking with OEM replacements!

    I started to replace my front pads today, 7 years 57,500 miles on my VX. Got the front pads off and they are maybe only 1/3 worn. I was shocked!! I put them back in and I will save replacement pads for another time....

    These OEM pads are GREAT!!
