Replacing front and back pads every 5k - 8k miles. Replaced front and back rotors twice in 100k. Replacing front and back calipers one in 100k. Replacing calipers pins both front and back every time pads were replaced. Turns out because of poor engineering and design the calipers pins collect moisture and corrode causing them to freeze up and not allowing calipers to perform properly, in turn the calipers are restricted , ruining the rotors and eat up the pads.
