R55 JCW Brake life?

[SlowStig]

Has anyone here got a R56 JCW and replaced the brakes on them? I have just been informed that mine on 25k needs brakes all round and I wondered if this was a known issue or if the JCW would eat through disks and pads? I have only had the car 2 months and there has been no indication that other than a set of front pads, there was any problems with them.

Depends on use. All motorway then doubt if need to chane pads after 50k.

Track days then at 25k the cars may be on its third set of discs & double that number of pads.

To answer your question it really depends on how the car is used.
