Brake pad life depends totally upon how you use your brakes. They will probably last less than 30,000 miles if you:
If you need to replace the discs or calipers your costs will rise accordingly. You can ... The rear brake pads should last twice as long as the front disc pads.
One can purchase brake discs from a variety of stores. Stores such as AutoAnything, eBay, GSF Car Parts, Auto Parts Warehouse, and Walmart sell brake discs.
It depends on how hard you drive it. Different pad compounds also wear at different rates so that influences the longevity of the part.
Depends on what kind of "discs" you're referring to... (compact discs? brake discs?)
If you change pads regularly and drive carefully they should last the life of the car, at least 150-200, 000 miles. -I have only ever had to change discs when people before me have abused the brakes.
Last time I checked with a Porsche garage in UK, £1,300 for a full set of pads and discs
there are brake shoes in the discs too . just remove the discs and you will see them. they are applied by a cable.
NO! No...no...no...! Do not put any grease on your brake discs, copper grease is used to put on the 'back' of the brake pads (not the part of the pad that comes into contact with the disc).

Typically integral parking brakes are on rear disc braking systems. By activating the parking brake it adjusts the discs on the rear brakes. While the front discs are self adjusting, on the integral systems the rear discs are not self adjusting, thus the need for the integral parking brake system.
The caliper might be sticking
Only if they are defective.
