Modern brakes wear out FAR faster then back in the 80s and 90s....removing the asbestos doubled there wear rate. Unless you drive very slowly (boringly!) pads won't go past 40 or 50 k these days....and also the discs wear at the same rate....it used to be two or three sets of pads to a set of discs.... quite often they are now replaced at the same time.
