What type of pads?

There are $7.99 "organic" brake pads then there are semi-metallic, ceramic,
titanium, etc, etc, etc...

I would say that on average a decent set of semi-metallic brake pads, priced
from $20 - $40, should get you 30k - 50k miles.

Alot also depends on where you drive (city/highway), your driving habits,
and/or vehicle load.
Make sure the rear brakes are properly adjusted and functioning otherwise
the front brakes are doing ALL of the work - not good

Disk brakes are not adjustable.

OK. Maker CERTAIN the proportioning valve is precisely calibrated. :-)
