It also puts excessive wear on your brakes if it is a daily driver. I know racers that change out rotors and pads when they track. Ive seen rotors that needed to be resurfaced every pad change and others were as smooth as a baby's *** and didnt really need to be resurfaced, just scuffed.
Thanks for the advice gofaster87.

Anyone gotten their brakes done yet at a shop? It may be a little early for this, but It'd be great to know what we're paying-

Shop/Dealer-
Milage when brakes needed servicing-
Track your car? yes/no
Front/rear/both pads replaced-
Rotors resurfaced/replace-
Final cost- $$
