Are these brake pads meant to last the life of the car!? Do I really drive like that much of an old lady? lol. The rotors are pretty grooved after 60k miles though. I can literally grab the edge of the rotor with my fingernail very easily which makes me wonder how much harder the pads are versus the rotors. Kinda crazy and a first for me.

Is this normal?

Yes. Looks exactly like mine that I replaced this winter also at 60k miles.

It's a pretty light car and very well balanced, front to back. The front brakes on my GS-R wore out every 40k, I think I went thru 3 sets. I never replaced the back ones.
