How long can JCW brakes last?

I know that there are always exceptions, but I was wondering what kinda life I can expect till I replace the set up when they wear out. Thanks in advance.

A better questions may be 'how long did your JCW brakes last?' since there's a ton of variables that contribute to brake wear.

Also, what do you mean by brakes? Pads only? Rotors, too? I would assume you don't mean the actual calipers.

A little more detail may yield you some useful information.

New Pads/Rotors at 37k.

Got the car with 22k, so I'm assuming that's the first time they needed replacing.

I do some spirited driving, no track, no autoX (yet).

Wound up replacing the rotors with Centric Rotors and Hawk HPS Street pads.
