i have 141,000 miles on my 78 cvcc honda.

the pads have been changed twice. i have
not replaced the rotor yet. i use a micro-
meter and measure the rotor thickness to
determin wether they need replacement.
as a whole, the rotor should last a while
before requiring replacement. if you see
deep groves on the rotor you might con-
sider getting the rotors resurfaced.

if you are plagued with vibration, i'd
look into having the tires rebalanced
first. that is of course if the vibrat-io
ion occur at all times regardless wether
the brakes are applied or not.

one more thing, you can get the rotors 
resurfaced without removing them from
the car at some places.

with brakes i ususally suggest that people
do whatever is required to make them feel
confident about the car.
