What caliper and rotor are you running?

How are your pads regarding rotor wear? The Hawk HP +'s I have don't appear to be rotor friendly and they don't fall in the inexpensive category.
1/2" wheel studs are given. I'm trying to remember whos rotors Baer was using for the Track/Touring set up. I want to say Power Slot. Believe the calipers are PBR. I've had them so long I dont remember. I'm still on the original front rotors. Rears I've replaced once.
Have you been miking your calipers? Vince miked my calipers and jotted the number down with a sharpie on the rotor. We must still be within tolerance because he never mentioned I was due for rotors. As often as I drive my car I dont concern myself with rotor friendly pads. IMO they are a wear item but then again I am still on the original fronts and replaced the rears once.
