How long will the EBC green stuff brake pads last?

I'm planning to change my stock pads and go for the EBC green ones to enhance the braking performance,I want to know how long will they last(how many miles) and will they last longer than the stock?

my stock pads always last 15,000mile only.

I own peugeot 206 1.4 8v.How long will the EBC green stuff brake pads last?It depends on the car, the roads (hilly vs. flat, straight vs. curvy), your driving style (aggressive vs. relaxed, down-shifting vs. extensive use of the brakes), and how heavy the load the brakes have to stop (driver only, full vehicle, or full vehicle + towing a trailer).



Driving like a bat out of hell with a fully loaded car on hilly and curvy roads while towing a trailer will eat up your fuel and brakes like there's no tomorrow. Relaxed driving, an empty car, flat roads, and down-shifting instead of heavy braking can save both fuel and brake pads.



How long is the warranty on the EBC brake pads? 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, lifetime? The above points and the warranty length will give you an idea of how long the EBC pads should last you.



P.S.: Down-shift when taking long hills or mountain roads. It'll save a whole lot of brake pad and it may save your life. Continuously using your brakes for a long time and/or at high speeds will overheat your brakes. This can shorten your brake pad and rotor life. It can also shorten your life. Overheated brakes tend to lose effectiveness. You press harder on the brake pedal and the car slows down less and less, eventually leaving you at the wheel of a runaway car.
