My car has 50K miles, and is in need of ANOTHER set of front rotor and pads. I can understand if pads wear out in 25K miles, but rotors? Come on, Nissan!
Clearly the OEM rotors are too soft. I'd like to get a longer wearing pair of aftermarket rotors that are drop-in replacements. What would you recommend? It seems that Rotora, Stop Tech and EBC all make OEM replacement rotors. Which would wear the best?

I am interested in this also.

 

what pads are you running that you keep cooking the rotors?

Stock pads and rotors

 

Order OEM brembo replacement rotors.

 

You're never going to get a straight answer to this question. Wear rates are totally dependent on how the car is driven. Someone living in Alaska driving curvy moutain roads will have completely different wear rates from someone living in Kansas. There's just no possible way to assign a, "you'll get x miles out of this rotor."
Your best bet is to just buy from a reputable manufacturer, that offers a decent price. I personally think the stock parts are overpriced for what you get, but this is the case with stock parts for pretty much every vehicle made.

Also pad selection is critical. You have to decide what you want out of your pad, and choose based on that criteria...low dust, low noise, good bite, etc.

 

i'm on 60k miles on my orgional stock rotors. I just purchased some e-bay rotors... im going to put them on this weekend.

Id say getting 60k off of rotors is pretty good... so if you are looking for long lasting rotors.... OEM maybe the way to go.

 

for longevity, you may want to try cryogenic powerslot rotors.
