Default carbotech eating up rotors

hi, i have carbotech ax6 for both front and rear on non brembo.
Aren't they suppose to be rotor friendly? I haven't checked the rear rotors but the front rotors are worn down a lot.

How much pad do you have left? What do you use the car for?

It's going to wear some - rotor friendly doesn't mean no rotor wear. AX6 are semi- aggressive.

But what is the rotor thickness - you need to measure them to see the wear.

If you pads are down to 3 mm - time to order. That's getting thin.

As long as the rotor wear isn't uniform, I wouldn't worry.

if you look closely at the pic i attached, you can see the metal piece that surround the rotor is exposed.. its not the backing plate.
i never used rotors for this long .. it doesnt look normal to me..

Brembo Front / Rear need pads/rotors prefer x-drilled/slotted 2 piece. and whatever pads best already have lines...

Thanks
