Hi guys,

Can someone give me a rough idea how many Km's I should expect before I need to change my disc rotors on a 99 WRX the brakes and pads are all genuine subaru parts.

Thanks

when the brakes squeak and the rotors have a substantial lip

have you done any motorsport?

nah this is just for a car that im lookin at, its had a rotor change allready on 128,Kms just wondering if this is normal? or has the car been drivin exteremly hard ?

I think at 128,000kms, the car has been driven VERY softly. In fact, he shouldn't be allowed to drive a WRX, get a Holden Barina and stick Playboy stickers on the rear window :P

I would say a rotor change is expected every 50,000kms or so, depending on what kinda driving environments the car is expected to go through. Eg. A single hard track day could chew through an entire set of rotors and pads. For a daily driven commuter WRX that does not see any spirited braking, rotors should last about 50-75,000kms I reckon.

yes, at 128,000 km and to have only had a single rotor change is criminal, it should be close to its 2nd or 3rd at that stage

wow !

i thought a rotor change at 120kms meant the car has been driven extremely hard

changed mine recently (a bit early, too) with about 70k kms on the odo. no track work, just light road use..

could own a vw.... normal daily driving, disc and pads every 30k or so....
