How often do you have to change brake pads?

just had rears replaced at 30k service... wear is dependent on your driving style so it can vary.
People who ride their brakes a lot or really work them, or track their cars will go through brakes faster than people who are easier on their cars. I'd say 30-40k avg on mild brake usage.

Replaced rear pads last week, front ones starting to sqeak a little....
rear pads have been replace but my fronts ones squeak very quiety every now and then. this is the pads right? should I do them asap or wait a bit to either it gets louder or I can actually feel them giving when I brake?

don't wait til u feel them giving
it's better to replace ahead of time - i'd just pull off your front wheels and give a quick inspection of the pads. if they've got meat, leave em. if they look a little low and the rotors look good on inspection, just swap pads.
