    [Comment]: They won't be selling too many of them as OEM pads will last over 150k miles. :D

    i had 89k miles on my 05 Prius when I sold it. I didn't need to replace the pads yet. This was back in November 09. I know the person that bought my Prius, and they are still going on the original factory pads.

    Does Sikes have a huge enough family to make this idea profitable?;)

    I just took the picture of my front driver side brake pads. The top is the outer pad and the bottom is the inner pad. They are the original pad with 123,000 miles.

    It looks like I can go another 120k miles.
