    R32 Rotor life

    Hi guys, can anyone tell me how many KMs your rotors lasted on your R32 before they needed to be changed? Mine have done around 60k and I've been told all four need replacement.

    Thanks.

    Not sure exactly how long they last, however my car has done 62,000km and they are just about ready.

    I bought in a set of 4 from ECS from the US. Currently they have free shipping to Australia. Its a great deal see: http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/newf...ad.php?t=33753

    Mine lasted until around 90k and that was only the fronts. That said I think the car had it pretty easy before me as it mainly did highway kms and not that much spirited driving.
    My rears haven't been done yet.
    Cheers,

    Edit: Make sure you buy the rotors from GAP or ECS in the states. The VWA prices are criminal (read more than double what you'll pay from the states including shipping)!

    Already purchased a set of all four, they are in the mail. Should be here tomorrow if the tracking is anything to go by, they are already in Oz. Not bad considering I ordered them Thursday of last week..

    I ordered Tuesday, should receive them today. Apparently the bit that takes the longest is the local delivery...
    Nothing to see here...
