   Bullshit.   
      
   The time to replace rotors is when they no longer meet the specs, and there   
   are a few specs that they need to meet (cracks, thickness, gouges, etc.),   
   but the main spec is the thickness.   
      
   I've seen many people say the bullshit you say but the fact is you measure   
   them, like Xeno and I do, and if they're within specs, you keep them.   
      
   It doesn't matter how many brake pads you replaced.

   More bullshit.   
      
   Read this before you bullshit us please.   
       
      
   It's impossible for rotors to warp (as in potato chip), and everyone who   
   says they do, has _never_ measured it, least of all you, Steve.   
   --   
   The problem with people like Steve is they don't know how stupid they are.
