Rotors for some cars are indeed small and light enough they should be replace with each set of pads. Ours are not those. You should easily get 3 sets of pads or more out of a set during normal driving.

NORMAL driving. That does not mean driving it as a Prius it means driving it as it should be on the public streets.
