Default Sprinter Brakes

We just took delivery on our 2006 Sprinter. We have a flower shop, do a lot of stop and go, and put 25,000 miles a year on a van. Any suggestions as to brake pads which will give good life? What type of mileage do you see on the front disk, and rear disk pads?

Thanks

Mike

Let off the gas to allow the vehicle to coast as far as possible to stops.This will save fuel as well as brakes.Try to time your diving to avoid stop lights as well.Don't tailgate other drivers,this keeps you from having to stop or slow down everytime someone ahead of you stops or turns off the road.
Brake life depends completly on driving style,the more you use them the quicker they wear out.
