dude stop breaking your car!!!!
Yeah, so I'm not sure how this is possible, but when I got the new pads put on, it was communicated to me that the rotors "have one notch left".
How is it that the stock rotors could go in less than 25k miles when the ones on my last one were never changed (and I sold it at 66k)?
So if they do need replacing, which ones?

rotors dont have notches. they are trying to cheat you. someone who cant replace their own brake pads obviously knows nothing about cars, regardless of how untrue that might be. so they are going to try to get as much monies as possible
best way to test tho is to get a 0-1" micrometer and measure the thickness at several points.

That's bs...

You could get these.
Seems like due to the design that would be the perfect balance between cooling and break pad wear tho.

Yeah, I had looked at buying those before I got my new ones. At 900, I probably would have bit. You get weight savings and better cooling. Granted, mainly useful for auto-x and aggressive driving.
Plus, if you wear through it, you can buy a new rotor and not a new hat.

Thomas go to rotorpros.net and get a quote like Scott suggested... I got all 4 rotors slotted and drilled, hats painted black, and ceramic pads for $300 shipped... with HKS pads they wanted another $40...
Just did that. I remember Scott mentioning something about them. Finally decided to pull the trigger of some new rotors.
