Auto Brake Discs 355*28mm Drilled Slott Disc 5*114.3 For Subaru STI​

Discs or rotors work by pads that clamp down on the rotor to create friction to slow your vehicle. The pads indeed wear out first. The rotor’s primary function is to absorb that friction. The more worn down your rotors are, the less heat they can absorb at one time, which results in longer stopping times. Having your brake pads checked and changed regularly will help you avoid more costly repairs to the system down the road

How Long Do Rotors Last?
The answer depends on several factors. The weight of your vehicle plus whatever cargo or passenger weight contributes to wear. Heavy loads require more brake pressure to stop. If you tow a trailer, this additional weight is a huge factor. Modern trailers have separate braking systems that integrate with some vehicles, which helps.

Your driving habits affect brake rotor wear as well. If you’re a speedster, your brakes work harder. Try coasting, also known as engine braking, and let your vehicle’s natural weight help slow you down before engaging the brakes. Learning to follow at a safe distance and anticipating when you need to stop will help with coasting, as will driving slower.

The quality of the rotors themselves comes into play. High-quality construction and materials will last longer than low-quality construction and materials. Higher quality brake rotors perform better too. Using cheaper rotors might end up costing you more when they wear out sooner.

Your rotors are one of the most durable parts of your car, but the above factors can shorten their lifespan. Expect your rotors to last anywhere from 30,000-70,000 miles depending on the above factors.
