Point taken dude. ;)

In the end it will boil down to what one would prioritize then. When i drive outtatown the added brake power of the Metal Kings over the stockers is quite evident on the highway and in the mountains; especially since i've adjusted my driving style to using the brakes more over engine braking to help conserve fuel a bit (my first set of pads lasted me over 60,000kms before i decided to changed them since i relied a lot on engine torque).

When i checked before, the cost of a replacement rotor was at the 1k more or less to 2k range depending on the car so it's not that heavy on the pocket given you have to change every 5 years or so.
