Depending on how aggresive the pad is, how hard the rotor is, ect...
Im gonna get new pads, rotors, hardware, and stainless steel brake lines when I do my brakes in however long it takes to run the front pads down to a "need to be replaced" thickness. And will flush the brake lines and put new fluid in there. Might as well only mess with it once. I am probably going to buy those same rotors, but with porterfield pads. I will of course paint the hat... Gold. And re paint my calipers green. Gold for the honey, green for the money imp smiley guy:
What it plan on doing (since i installed the pads about 1 months ago) Ill sand them down afew millimeters with a block of sandpaper then reinstall them and take it easy on them the first 50 miles. I MIIIIIGHT replace them with a low dust alternative but that depends... on money of course.
