I thought brake pads last around 20k MILES, like tires. Of *** that depends on your driving styles.

That's what I was thinking - fortunately, there are some other brake pad options available for the f-sport that don't come with the disadvantages of the OEMs.

My last two cars had brembo brakes and pads that dusted like crazy...

My f sport seems just as bad, so I did the same thing I did with my brembos....went to autozone and got dura last gold c max....it's a ceramic pad, almost zero dusting little to no loss of stopping performance. Took me 30 min to swap out the pads and couldn't be happier
