i have an 7k equipment trailer that I replaced the brakes after 11 years of use. The shoes were thick enough to still use but had some cracking due to heat (the trailer had brakes on only one axle). I replaced everything and upgraded to brakes on both axles.
Just today I ordered new rotors pads and wheel bearings for my 1999 Ford Ranger with 185k on the clock. At 70k miles I replaced the original pads with ceramics and turned the rotors. Now I am replacing the original rotors (slightly warped) and putting on the 3rd set of pads, the rear drum brakes are all original. Needless to say I am pretty easy on brakes.
