Anyone know how often rotors need to be replaced (typically?) I've got a 97 Es 300 (sorry, can't yet afford a New S2000) Anyway, Midas tells me my rotors on all ends are pitting, and need to be replaced. They say they can't grind any of them down without falling under specifications. Total cost with pads is nearly 700 bucks. I then go to Tuffy. They say just my rear rotors and brakes are bad. Funny they said front would be fine for a few months yet--pads at almost half-life up front. Their bill: about 200 bucks for rear pads and rotors. Lastly for kicks I go to Sears, tell them I'm hearing sqeaking in my brakes. They say everything looks normal, but rear pads and rotors are starting to go. But recommend no replacements for a couple months.
Obviously, the first and last place I should go is Lexus, unfortunately my nearest dealer is about 80 miles away.

Just curious. How often any of you have had to replace your rotors and have you heard of "pitting" or damage to the rotors?
Also, any idea what new pads and rotors should cost all the way around?

Any advice would help.

Thanks

 

S2000 rotors are about $60 apiece and pads are about $40 a set. Labor might be $100 to replace them all.
