I replaced my rear rotors right after I got the car so it would pass inspection. The front rotors aren't cut at all and there's still quite a bit of pad left. There is definitely something wrong with the bushings in the front calipers though. Whoever last pulled the calipers apart didn't lubricate them when putting them back on and the rubber bushings were shredded. Of course, those bushings weren't even supposed to come out in the first place, so I may need new calipers (I'm driving without the bushing in the right front caliper, but the thumping is no worse than before). And of course, these are really weird Buick calipers that come apart and detach in strange ways with special headed bolts, so new ones aren't cheap and may or may not fix the problem.

So today I ended up with a dead engine while sitting in the dead center of a group of sleeping elk. That was a fun situation to escape.
