    on both side or just one side, you need a new brake calipers, new rotors, and new pads at the same times.

    It would be worth while to inspect the brake calipers, but replacing them for brake wear averaging 25,000 miles would be unnecessary unless you found something sticking or damaged.

    Unfortunately - 25,000 miles average for brakes is not unheard of or unreasonable. It's just about average.
