+1 for rotors

CV joints usually last a while unless your doing crazy stunts with your car.

-Drifting
-Burnouts
-Jumping large bumps...then bottoming out.

Just got my car less than a month ago from acura dealer. They told me it's new brakes but who knows, I'll check the rotors out when I got some time. As far as the CV joints goes - what does CV stand for. I'm not much of a mechanic but just a driver.
