Can someone tell me what the average brake pad life is for the 99 Intrepid ES?
What type of pads?
There are $7.99 "organic" brake pads then there are semi-metallic, ceramic, titanium, etc, etc, etc...
I would say that on average a decent set of semi-metallic brake pads, priced from $20 - $40, should get you 30k - 50k miles.
Alot also depends on where you drive (city/highway), your driving habits, and/or vehicle load. Make sure the rear brakes are properly adjusted and functioning otherwise the front brakes are doing ALL of the work - not good
Disk brakes are not adjustable.

I know - that's why I said to make certain the rear brakes...... nevermind....... :-/ OK. Maker CERTAIN the proportioning valve is precisely calibrated. :-) j/k
