For the last 2 years, I've had DBA slotted rotors with EBC Greenstuff pads. In this time, I've have done about 35,000-37,000km. Today, I rotated my tyres and thought to measured the thickness of the rotors with a vernier caliper.
New, the fronts are 25mm thick, with the minimum allowable thickness being 23mm. Today, the fronts were between 24.2mm - 24.4mm. The rears are 11mm thick when new, and have a 9mm minimum. Today, they were between 10.2mm - 10.4mm thick. So, all in all, after two years / 35,000km running, the discs are less than halfway through their lifespan. This is compared to the soft OEM discs, which reportedly last about 30,000 - 40,000km. The front pads have about 5mm left, with a 2mm minimum. I've just ordered a new set from ebay UK, $125 delivered. The rear pads ran out about 5,000km ago and I replaced them with EBC Ultimax. |
