Default life of bbk?

what's the average life of a Bremb big brake kit for the fronts? 4piston, 13.1inch rotor. 19 in wheels and lowered ( if that makes a difference) I guess under semi agressive driving conditions on the street.

Thanks guys!

depends on the type of pads and rotors! Some are made different than others!

i believe brembo brakes have different kind of pads. some more aggressive, and that will eat into the rotors much faster.

other than that, things you should look out for
1) pistons ring, they can get loose or fall off
2) brake line seals. they could leak

but brembo are good stuff, unless it's really abused bad or without maintenance, otherwise i don't think it will be problem

i have both my ap racing and stoptech for sale, and when took them out, they were inspected and everything was good
