In saying that, you should be able to get them re-machined ONCE before they will be undersized, so technically, 70-80,000kms a rotor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XR09 Guests Posted 02/03/11 08:04 AM Share Posted 02/03/11 08:04 AM Track days will stuff them pretty quick. Pending what pads you have of course. I had mine replaced @15,000 odd. They did not want to machine them because one had a crack. Don't get drilled rotors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get drilled rotors.Slotted Brembo rotors are prone to crack under pressure.Replaced my fronts with DBA slotted rotors and Bendix Street , Road Track pads,superior bite and less fade. Wore the OEM gear out in 40ks. $2500 replacement from fraud, be farked. Just the fronts that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here or overseas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle!

This was after 2 track/drift days, but I sold the car before I needed the rotors replaced.The GT-E is at about 60% worn at 19k km, so it is all dependant on the driver. I will be replacing mine with DBA's once they are done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
