Worst post of the day?
You don't post how much they are costing you for starters....
I would recommend you get new if you're gonna buy them but then again this is all pointless till we know what the current asking price is. Also how bad are your current rotors? You can get them 'turned' or 'shaved' (same thing and most shops will do this for 50 bucks and they will be just as good if not better then those 40k rotors.

OP, I've replaced my rotors and brakes yearly. The rotors were my decision, I didn't like the feeling of having shaved rotors (all psycological). I could have clearly had them resurfaced and I think I might take that route the next time. I buy OEM parts from the dealer since I can get them immediately. OEM brake components are known to wear out very quickly, which is partly why OEM brakes have exceptional stopping power. You can use Hawk pads which is a common aftermarket replacement that has very little dusting since it is a ceramic pad. The only con that has been reported is less of a 'bite' when comparing to the OEM pad. Anyone else have the same thoughts?

my rotors are grooved as hell and the oem brake pads dont last me over 2k miles, i use duralast c max pads and they feel like the oem but last me 4k miles......now take my driving out of the equation and cmax pads are the way to go
before anyone says anything im just saving up for the akebono full bbk, 800 left to go and untill a get there using 20 dollar oem pads from kragen dosent bother me

ok but that is because you have a bigger goal in mind, doesnt mean cmax is the way to go for most people.
Project mu are the closest to Oem that maybe dust a little less but retain the same stopping power.
Posi Quiets Extended Wear are good brake pads.
OEM are great if you dont mind dusting.
All of them are gonna kinda suck in the cold...but if you properly break them in they should perform well and last a while

I got 35K from my '06's pads. I replaced the rotors anyway and got new OEM rotors and pads.
Next time i do pad, i'll take the first set of rotors and get them cut and use them.
You can cut rotors until you are below min thickness...and then you gotta chuck them. Some guys prefer to just buy new rotors all the time. I am usually like that, but i think next time i'm just gonna cut the first set of rotors that came on the car.
