Default rotors

Does anyone know if having traction control affects the wear on rotors? I had to replace mine after 23k miles on easy driving. Just wondering.

I would say NO WAY.

Man, 23K! I have 67,000 miles on my stock rotors and they're perfect. Did my first brake job at 55,000 and they looked great then.

Weird how some are good and some are just complete garbage.

I've replaced mine 4 times now. The dealer replaced the rotors and pads all the way around at 10,000 miles. I now have 38,000 miles on the car and I've had 4 sets of pads and two set of rotors on it. For some reason I think it's driver related! Could be those 130mph stops. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
