Brake pads, I'd recommend the Pagid Blues, I have those on mine, much better than stock. But if you're not tracking your car, your stocks should last forever. And since your tires lasts that long, your brakes should still have at least 100k mile or more life left.
I wonder driving the car regularlly (almost daily) helps the tires to last longer....??? I don't know.
