Question Brake rotors out of spec??

Hey Fellow rx8rs,

Anybody here have the problem with brake rotors having to be replaced at 22,000 miles???

Dealer said out of spec.

Dealer wants 260 + "each" for new rotors.

If that is the case I might as well get some sloted or drilled rotors.

I need new tires also. I might as well say 2 grand for everthing.

Your thoughts appreciated?

I only drive 7-8 miles a day to work (the daily) but it's city/subberb traffic.

I hope all of yours is highway miles.

I've owned my share of cars and this seems extreme.

I think about 30 hours of HPDE but I am not hard on the brakes. I drive my 8 to these events so don't drive it at the limit.
