I don't think there is a exact amount of km's. But when they start to make noise or there is any brake fade, you should have them changed. You rotors only need changing if they are scored, even then they can be re-machined @ a fraction of the cost. this does not always work and alot of shops would rather have you spend the xtra cash on new parts. hope that helps. cheers

I agree with what has been said, but would add that Auto Zone or the others like them, can get you some very, very sweet prices for pads and rotors. I just replaced the rotors simply cause they were so inexpensive; ~$25 each. Easy, easy brake job. 30 minutes a wheel, fronts.
