Also, can't rule out the Master Cylinder either.

Minimum pad wear s/b 2mm (0.08"). You get two sets of brake pads before requiring a rotor change. OEM pads cost me $120 for both axles + $22 for new brake fluid.

How do you know that the rotors need replacing. Do you measure runout and/or is there a minimum thickness to the rotor?
