Default Front Rotors

Putting new rotors and pads on the front very soon. Non carbon ceramic. Where did you get yours? Why did you select them? And, how have they been for you?

I don't track the car. Mostly local driving only.
Thanks in advance!

With street driving Iron Rotors should last at least 50K miles and more than likely a lot more. The pads will wear faster but you don't need to replace rotors when replacing pads. If the rotors are above the minimum thickness spec they don't need to be replaced. As the pages indicate the rotors can't be resurfaced since they have a floating design.

I got mine from summit racing. Quick shipping and their prices were the most reasonable. Don't forget to add the discount codes on their site.

My rotors went out around 42k miles. But I do a lot of street racing and am constantly hitting the brakes from 150+ and driving aggressively on the streets. I could hear the wear sensor squealing. The new ones are great after brake burnishing. They're the OEM.
