I have over 33k miles on mine ... no replacement yet.

Might want to upgrade to 030 if you can.

If you need to change rotors, at least get the lighter Evosport ones. Not only will you reduce unsprung weight, but same some money in the process.

Like others have said, either don't do it or check out Evosport first. Although, I think they only offer rears and not fronts. If you can't get Evo's, get the 030. I think it might not cost much more than standard rotors. What is the cost for just the rotors anyways? I've got to believe it's a DIY job if you're up to it.

Deff up for a DIY my brother took the car in just for a service and almost got caught with a huge bill i never get work like that done at dealerships they just rip you off my friend who was the head mech at a dealership opened his own shop and gets me merc parts at cost so im taking it to him when i get back and if i really do need to "replace" them then i will go evosport im getting quoted for them now if not that then 030 for sure! Wow lol with these rotors i gotta a lot of things planned for the car when i get back: New rims, removing post cat, springs, headers come mid-may, underdrive pulleys, maybe software and CF front lip!!!

The 030 rotors isn't much more than the regular ones, I've checked it awhile ago.
