I've gone through 10 sets easily. I went through the stock pads in one 20 minute session when my car was brand new. I've also gone through 5 sets of rotors before switching to stoptechs.

I do agree though, no need to resurface rotors when changing pads. Just bed the pads in properly and they will conform to the rotor surface. The stock brakes overheat bad enough as it is without taking any mass off the rotors by shaving them down.

My recommendations:
For pure street use: Hawk Ceramics or Akebono ceramcis

For street/performance: Carbotech Bobcats.
