How often do you replace your rotors?

Exactly!! In my years of maintenance, I can tell you I've witnessed countless people that don't know when to check their cars until they stop working. I saw this lady with front brakes worn down so far that the brake pads was gone and the backing plate was worn half way down. The rotors were so worn to the point that the surface was gone and the cooling fins were exposed!! Yea, those rotors were bad and the calipers were still fine and not leaking.
