My stealer has told me I need new brake pads all round (67k miles so no issue), however the brake pads on the outside of the wheels have plenty of wear left, he says the inners need replacing (I haven't checked them yet). He also says when I change the pads I need to change the disc / rotors and this is a swift $1700 notes. An independent brake place says about $1400 bucks for a full replacement so here's where you all come in:

1) do I need to replace the discs/ rotors with pads and if so why?
2) do the pads indeed wear quicker on the inside of the wheel as opposed to the outside?

Take a look at this detailed brake bible produced by Bodsey of the D3 site, its brilliant

It has all the information you require including minimum disc thickness, I have just done mine, easy job if you like to do it yourself as I do!

If the discs need to be changed you should change the pads as well as the original pads have effectively worn with the old disc. If you look at them really clost you will see that they are not perfectly flat or smooth. You will get uneven wear in any brake system that uses sliding calipers ie the rear brakes. It isnt a difficult job so for me if u change the disc change the pads as well
