I only replace when they are warped and cant be cut. You should be getting a good few years atleast from them atleast. . .

I bought my car used in 2000. It is a 97 se 5 spd. I currently have 196,000 Kilometers on her and still have the factory rear pads. The fronts had been replaced before I purchased her and the rotors had Never been cut.
I didn't wasn't sure about the prior history and purchased all new rotors, lines and pads in January of 06. I could have gotten away with just replacing the pads and lines. Oh well, the new ones look tight anyway and the braking preformance was improved with the addition of stainless steel braided lines.
Most cars, (except chylser) can have the rotors cut 2 times. When the brakes wear out on a chylser, it's time for all new hardware. pads and rotors.

I have 76000 miles on mine. Never cut them.

They are being replaced this weekend because I want to spend some time in the garage this weekend. They still work ok.
