Sorry man, but pads are cheap, what you're advising is going to cost more each time as you still have to replace the pads. $20 rotors are crap made from crap materials. For a gentle driver it's no big deal but for anyone who drives aggressively the inconsistencies in thermal distribution, poor machining and less than phenomenal heat dissipation all add up to a great potential for frequent problems or worse a serious failure when pressing them too hard. Pay the $100 ea and at least get Brembo OEM spec rotors... oh, and replace your pads before you trash them... they'll last you a VERY long time.
