Same here. I've never used anything but stock discs.

I myself don't live in a perfect world nor do I have a unlimited source of money. I change pads all the time without changing rotors, front and rear, I go from track pads to street pads all summer. In fact I will go from pads used on the left to re-using them on the right. And some people even tease me that I just go too far to try and use every bit of pad material; I have no qualms getting out my Dremel tool and removing the wear sensors from the inner pads so I can use them on the outside of the rotor...

Mind you I switch to track pads at home and drive to the track on them so they have a chance to bed in evenly.

There's no such thing as warped discs.

Please read this article to see what's wrong with your rotors: http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp...rakedisk.shtml

Yep, it's a good piece of work by a well respected author and suspension guru.
