I bought a new rotor from RAD just over two years ago and it's worn well beyond the factory wear limit already. The original lasted 16 years and was worn only slightly below the limit when I replaced it. I just put it back on yesterday until I can get something better. Anyone had a particular brand of rotor that they had good luck with? It seems like the pads only lasted half as long with the RAD rotor too.

What pads did you use? If you use a really good high friction pad, they will take rotors out faster. More abrasive = more wear to both pad and rotor.

I use EBC sintered metal--the same ones I've always used.
