    3 rotors? You have 2 drums in the back.

    2 brake pads per front brake = 4 brake pads

    I got a little over 80,000 miles on my front pads before replacing them. Rears were still good. At 97,000 miles now, no issues.

    I just replaced a set of pads for the second time on a 2017 Mirage. The first set lasted 99,000kms/61,000miles (oem). I installed a set of either raybestos or wagner pads at the time. I can't remember...

    Got 108,000km(67,000miles) out of those pads. They were completely worn out though. Replaced them with new raybestos(economy line) rotors and raybestos hybrid pads. These pads seem to be very hit or miss as far as fitting the 2 dowels into the caliper holes goes. Some fit great and others require a pair of channel locks to squeeze them into place. Or maybe it's the caliper holes are off on the car?

    Yes I was. Thanks. I have always felt anecdotally that the 5MTs would get considerably better life out of the pads.
