Well, I have the BAT Mintex pads and EBC rotors. They worked dutifully for about 70k. I can't say they performed that much better than stock other then the longevity.

It's now time to get a brake job. I really don't have the time to do it myself, so I'm having a dealership do it for $180 with turning the rotors. Sounds like a fair price.

Not resurfacing seems pretty contrary to everything I've heard before. In my case, I think I have to because there's a nice channel around the rotor from the pad. I'd replace the rotors if I could get something reasonably priced by tomorrow, but that's not going to happen. Hopefully all will be ok with the resurfaced EBC rotors since this is now just a commuter vehicle.
