For those of us with the non performance pack brakes (one piece rotor and silver caliper) who want to upgrade to a two piece rotor, I assume you can package the silver caliper pads with the two piece rotor at a similar excellent price. Yes?
This memorial holiday FCP is running a 10% off orders over $199 promotion. You can use the code in the banner on checkout meaning rotors would cost $465 each. This is the lowest we have ever offered the rotors for and keep in mind these items include free shipping, lifetime replacement warranty and unlimited returns. Have a safe holiday
at how many miles is it recommended to replace the front rotos?
No track/heavy use.
It doesn't work that way. Rotor replacement is not mileage dependent, it's wear dependent. Once you hit that minimum thickness, it's time to swap the discs. With that being said, I've come across cars with 70-80-90k on original discs however by that time they are visible worn.

Just measure the thickness. That's like asking how long a tank of gas will last. Depends on your driving conditions and style. Mine (stockers) were plenty thick but had cracks on all the holes. I knew I couldn't pass tech inspections for track days so I replaced them. I had 66k.
Car has 27k miles, never had the brakes changed. Just measured the front rotors, and they're about 1/2 inch thick (little under) and no cracks or visible wear (they look like they can be resurfaced, due to being kinda uneven?)
I'm just asking bc someone told me since I never had the brakes changed, I would most likely have to change the rotors, which didn't make sense to me.

I would advise against resurfacing cross drilled rotors.
