Brake pad replacement

What mileage did you replace brake pads/linings on an Elantra.

I have a 2001 Elantra with 76K miles, brakes are still responding good..

"Responding good" is meaningless. Pads should be replaced when the 6 month pad inspection shows them needing to be replaced. I replaced the front ones on my 06 Specta at 35k miles and the rears at 45k miles.

It means the car stops, no squealing when the brake pedal is actuated.

That was about my idea of replacement times, but the last inspection at 50k miles reported as 40% still left on the pads.

Even if they are scoring up the rotors.

I traded in my Sonata with 67000 miles and original pads in good condition. That is longer than I ever got from my GM cars with similar use and miles. I'd bet they still had at least 30,000 left on them.

Excellent! Much depends on your driving conditions and type of pad. Houston is pretty hard on cars.

Comments re Sonata are about right, I got 106,000 km out of my front pads. John
