You are allowed 1mm of wear on each side of the rotor before you reach minimum thickness allowed. New is 30mm, min. is 28mm. So for high friction F sport pads, that rotor is going to wear fairly quick. I got one and a half set of pads before I had to change my rotors. you could probably do two sets, but I personally chose to not wait that long as the minimum thickness was getting dangerously close. It's not an on/off switch, but is a good indicator of when you should be replacing your rotors.

These cars have high performing brakes in F Sport variant, and the price paid is high wear, high dust. And some noise.
