What type of pad are you running?
When using just OE replacement rotors (not calipers or oversize kits) then MovIt suggests the OE P40 pads. I will do a tear down tomorrow and will update the thread with pad wear characteristics.

Thank you so much for being the tester.

PCCB users have different math and it will pay off even sooner for them, but I am very interested as well and as you keep posting we will learn how quickly the Movit brake system will pay off in saved pads and rotors, as well as the labour saved.
You got it Peter. Yes, the value proposition for the MovIt system involves some big number$ so is a bit of a challenge to wrap your head around, but boils down to:

Lifetime rotors, or even transfer to your next car (!).
Reduced pad wear (we shall see).
Preserving reduced rotating mass/lowered unsprung weight.
When billet caliper is installed no more pad flipping/beveled pads (we shall see).
Greatly improved pedal feel, increased ability to modulate.
