I find ppl like to blame parts but in all honesty its 95% operator's fault for stuff going early and luck of maintenance.
Honestly, I agree, I was just pointing out that you had already judged my driving to not be the cause and that it was because I bought cheap rotors. Now do you believe me? Well, seems you do. Thanks.

My driving habits have kept me accident free for 11 years. It was before I used the hell out of the brakes I had accidents. I'll keep doing what I do, because I can't afford $7500 a year insurance! :)

I was just saying 😉 driving habits can make or brake a car. Do what's best for you 😊

Maintenance is the key with brakes ...honestly I have not seen Toyota rotors go that early unless u tow or live in the mountains.

Hehehe... well, let's just say it's what happens when you let a teenager who enjoys speed drive a car not meant for it... and they find just the right dip in the road that gets the front end in the air. Then there's the slowing down part. And the finding out what the top speed is part. Also found out that the stock tires can blow out at near that top speed. Did you know you can drift a 90 degree corner at 70 km/h in a Corolla?

Yeah, I was a very bad driver back then and shouldn't have been given a license. I learned my lesson, though! Except for abusing the brakes. Well, that's at least not gonna have me driving into a bus load of nuns.
