I go through rotors as fast as I go through pads (5-6 weekends per set) on my 200hp/2600lb car. Pete's car is going to have a lot more speed, and speed = brake wear, big time (KE = 1/2mv^2). He will be eating rotors and pads.
well, RJ goes through rotors because all of his crack. however, collins and myself are too slow to eat up rotors. i've tracked the sti once and its already got a ncie lip on the break rotors, something my integra has never shown. hopefully those rotors will get replaced along with the pads under warranty. w00t for subaru's warranty coverage
