Hi All,
what's the experience of life of the discs (Cosworth)?
My rears are original and still have 19+mm on them (20mm new, 18mm=change). Done 82k.
Had to change the fronts at 62k.

How long is a peice of string?
It all depends on several factors . How heavy you are when you use the brakes, types of driving and speeds. Some people use a lot of brakes others hardly ever wear them out.

I agree Dave - horses for courses.
I avoid heavy breaking as much as I can, even when I'm moving at 3000rpm  though most is in town or short trips
Just want to get an idea of others experiences.
