Why im sticking with OEM rotors

[sleepless_red]

I'm still running the original rotors front and rear. Yup, I haven't replaced them with almost 90K miles on them now. I don't brake much. That's why.

The pads have been changed a couple of times and the front calipers have been rebuilt once. Also, djxtrordinaire and Big E changed the fluids late last year.

I just thought I'd share it with you all.

Glad to know the work well with your wheels

Have you checked the rotor thickness to be sure they're still in spec?

Sneaky frog... Stock rotors work fine with CZ's

Hey if it works for you then why change.

Hey sleepless, since you mentioned break calipers, have you ever considered going with steel braided brake lines? Just a question (mainly for looks, & some would say, to increase braking performance).

Oem rotors are definitely good ones. I just preferred the cooler look of my Chalfers

RussellJ where did you get them and how much?

Have you measured them with calipers and are they within the service limits?

Good to know that they wear well.

With the mileage that you have I would say you cruise cruise cruise until it's time to go home

Only easy stops for gas and to drive into the driveway, right?

All 3 were like 250 bucks from ebay. 5k miles on them now and they work every bit as good as OEM.

I wouldn't be fooling with mine except that I have to

I already have the steel braided lines. Thanks for reminding me.

Yes, I have. They're still good and you got it right about the easy stops.
