What have been your experience on longivity of brake pads and rotors? I am talking about PBR Metal Masters and ATE Rotors for 1991 745 Turbo.

I used both items two years ago (roughly 20,000 miles of use), and am wondering if it time to replace them again. (Agressive Driver with 60% city and 40% highway use.)

I will be doing an oil change and will visualy check on brake pad thickness later this weekend. I thank you in advance for your opinions and sage advice on the matter.

PS. No current problems with brake or brake system. The car just past the 150,000 mile mark. I have done anything with yet for over a year besides oil and filter changes since I address all the maintenance, repair, and replacement issues in my first year of ownership. (Maybe this is why I am itching to do something with the car.)

PS2. The car is due for its annual safety inspections and smog testing this month. I am hoping she will pass with flying colors like she did the past two years, but that is a subject of another post.
