Replace Disc Rotors & Brake Pads Or Wait?

Hi,

Today I received my DBA T2 Slotted Front Rotors & my Power Stop Z23 Brake Pads. :)

My stock brake pads and disc rotors have already approx.16500KM on them, I'm driving lately very spirited, pushing the brakes harder than usual, haven't check if they are worn out completely which I don't think they are since braking still feels pretty much OEM to me. Although on the front left disc rotor I can see a big circular deep "scratching" line on it.

So, the question is very simple should I replace the disc rotors now and have the DBA Rotors and Z23 Brake Pads Installed, or should I wait until i really "need" to replace them?

Thanks for your feedback.

That circular line is caused by small rock or other hard thing which was pushed by the brake pad to the rotor. Nothing to worry about. I would check first how much pad life your pads have and after that decide whether to fit new ones.
