The reason why I asked, according to other members on the forum- our rotors are only good to about 35-50K miles....... at that point they need to be replaced.

The other reason I wondered if the pad footprint on the Rotex Gold is very similar to the stock pads,, I am considering replacing my front stock pads with the Rotex Gold- my car has about 16K miles and if I don't have to replace the rotors I don't want to.

Thanks
