Good to see ya here man. Hope Christmas was good up your way!
BTW. Those GM pads might be expensive but they practically last forever. I guess it depends on how long you plan to drive the vehicle.

The pads might last another 100K, but you'll be visiting the rotors in that time frame, and it'd be in your best interest to re-lube the sliding components, and you may have to replace a seal or two in the calipers down the road.
Long story, short ... you'll be doing other brake work, so it's not really prohibitive if you get a lesser life pad for half price.

I'd replace rotors with the pads myself on a vehicle with some miles on it.

30K/yr is a LOT of miles.

I was puttin 3500-4000 miles a month at one point on my Cutlass.
The bad part was I was doin oil changes every month or so.
