G30 Brake Life

What have people been getting for brake life mileage wise on the standard brakes and what is the composition/style of driving you do?

I drive MY 2020 G30 and odo is at 11000 miles. A recent service report says front brakes have got over 90% life left and rear one's have 90% left.
I drive mostly in city and don't push hard. Rarely I do spirited driving and hence brakes might last may be 70-80k miles for me.

You did the right thing as the service inclusive pack with the brake pads/rotors won't make sense for low mileage drivers. Hence I went with service pack without brakes.

Just had a check and the pads are 50%+ at 30k.
I'm guessing I'll have to replace at around 50k, but I do drive mainly hwy miles.

I'm waiting on rotors and sensors to do a brake job on mine being over mileage based on the rear brake sensors. Think I'm somewhere in the 40k range.
