Just curious,

How many k's did everyone get out of there factory brakes on there SSV Redline?

Did you upgrade, or just replace with OEM?

Cheers

VF1 here (so fronts only - but wagon which weighs more so uses more brakes), at 26k kms and 4.5yrs, plenty of meat to go.

MY12.5 Maloo R8, MY12 Redline ute, Magnum 224
Magnum has 33,500kms. Plenty of pad wear left, but rotors have worn quite a bit.
Maloo had rotors and pads replaced at 49k kms, still wear left on the pads, but all rotors were worn beyond minimum thickness.
Replaced with DBA rotors and EBC Red Stuff pads.

VF1 SSVR 71k still got original pads and rotors. Still had 6mm left on pads (whatever that means) according to Holden at last service. I'm mainly out on the open road so the brakes have a fairly easy life.
