Dang I didn't know rotors lasted that long, I thought you had to replace them at a certain number of miles. What do you mean by "can't be resurfaced"? I don't mind trying them (Ebc Red) as long as they are better then stock & are a good brand since I've never heard of them.

Best to get some street pad advice from someone that's tried them in these cars or a 350.

Rotors last a long time in street driving conditions. The only reason to replace them is if they warp, crack, or scour. You can get at least 1 resurfacing out of the stock rotors if necessary.

Resurfacing refers to removing the surface layer of metal from the face of the rotor using a brake lathe. This is only necessary if the rotors are scored (grooving).
