I tried searching nothing came up.

What kind of life do you guys get out of your front rotors? Do you replace the rotor everytime you do your brakes or do you get them cut?

I did my rears already and I replaced the rotor. I used a caliper to measure the thickness and I was at roughly 28 mm. I know the limit is 27 mm. Wondering if I can even cut it at this stage.

 

I'm not sure what year your G is, but my 04 had the replacement warranty for 3 yrs or 36,000 miles. The dealer replaced my front rotors every 18,000, and resurfaced my rear rotors twice.

So, it depends on how many miles wear you put on them.....

 

oops.... I have an 05. That year began the non-brembo.

 

most places will not resurface your rotor if it will be below minimum range because its dangerous. However, now that you know you dont have brembos you saved a ton of $$$$ because stock replacemtn rotors are cheap. Check stoptech if you want decent replacements at a better price than the dealership

 

How good are stop tech rotors on the OEM brake pads ? I have 03 G35 coupe AT with 43K and I am looking to change out my rotors and pads.

Thanks

 

Check out R1concepts.com for good rotors without paying an arm and a leg.

 

I wouldn't recommend R1...from personal experience and other people's experience with them:

You recommend not buying rotors because they rust? Please. All rotors are iron and will rust when exposed to water. Even the stock rotors rust on the black part.

To keep the exposed metal that does not contact the pad from rusting, just apply a light coat of the 1200 degree paint from the auto parts store on them. The pads instantly wear away the paint that they come into contact with.

 

I remember buying a set of authentic Brembo replacement rotors for my 99 Eclipse, and they rusted too. I had them on for less than 500 miles and one day after a rain storm the rotos ( all 4 ) had dripping stains of rust. They looked like you threw water mixed in with rust on them. Moral of the story, even Zinc plated rotors will rust, i mean they are just PLATED. Let me go buy gold plated jewelry and jump in the pool! Its wayyyyy too expensive to get 100% non rust rotors.
