That is going to depend a lot on how you drive and how much. It can also depend on what kind of brake pads you use as some wear quicker than others.

Barring issues or a lot of braking 50K.

Be sure to also monitor rear pads.

Not typically. The fronts tend to do most of the work therefore wear out sooner. All that being said, I typically do all four corners when I do brakes but is not usually necessary.

That's what I always thought, but when I was shopping for a camry I remember there were 2 cars that had there rear brakes replaced. Just curios bout that one.
