OEM Brake Rotor/Pad - Track Life

[corbs09]

How much life (in track days + street miles) are you guys getting off of your oem steel rotors?

Please list the pad you are running and the life you got out of pads/rotors.

I am just trying to gauge what to expect. I see a lot of posts about pad life, but very few when I searched on the life of the rotors.

Thank you!

Too many variables to get the right data.

You will likely need rotors after you go through a set of street or track pads.

20,000 miles and 4 track days ... Gone through stock pads and rotors.

I use Pagid RSL29 pads for the track. I actually no longer bother changing back to stock pads between track days during the track season unless I plan a long roadtrip.

The front rotors last me about 25~35 track days and 20,000 total miles depending on the tracks I visit, while the rear rotors last about twice as long. The front RSL29 are good for about 3-4 track days while the rear ones last 8-10 days. I wore down a set of stock front pads in less than one track day.

It's also important to point out I run NT01 track tires, as R-comp tires will ask much more of the brakes.

My rotors have always lasted me several sets of pads
