My plan with this car is to change the rotors every two pad changes, or every 20-25k miles. I think I could go up to 30-35k on a set of rotors, but eh why risk it.

For those F Sport owners who replaced their front pads at 11k like I did, at what mileage did you replace the rears? I have 15k and know my rears must be coming up soon. I can't see that well inside the wheel so I can't tell how low they are. I may stick my phone in the wheel and record a video so i can get an idea without having to remove the wheel.

I'm a little over 25k. Rear pads still fine. They don't take on much load like the front. I could get by until my lease ends.
