How do I properly care for the carbon ceramic brakes on my Audi R8?

I recently purchased an Audi R8 with carbon ceramic brakes, and I want to ensure I am properly maintaining them. How often should I replace the brake pads and rotors? Are there any special precautions I should take when driving to prolong the life of the brakes?

The lifespan of carbon ceramic brakes can vary based on driving habits, but on average you can expect to replace the brake pads every 30,000-50,000 miles and the rotors every 60,000-90,000 miles. However, it's always best to monitor the condition of your brakes and replace them sooner if necessary. You should also be mindful of hard braking and avoid excessive heat buildup, as this can wear down the brake pads faster.
