Hi Mate
You could see up to 40k or as low as 20k.
It all depends on your driving style.
But I would reccomend some good fast road ones or if you have had no issues before why not stick to genuine?
I know of a guy who tried the fast road red stuff and he did not rate them.
He went back to origional ones.
He even did track days.

I can't get more than 20K out of the front pads on my LCR. On any other car I've had it's been 40K but the LCR seems to eat them up and I wouldn't describe myself as being hard on brakes

the majority of fast road pads are just a con, a lot of manufacturers even just use OE pads that are simply painted up

I got 76k out of the pads on my 307.
