Compression issues more likely to be caused by irons or housings?

I wish I was driving!
The rotor housings usually show more wear than the irons during tear down.

Side and corner seals really don't wear that much.
Primary wear surfaces are the housings and apex seals.
If you have the stupid OEM 3 piece seals, your apex seal wear limits are cut in half from the 2 piece seal.
Usually the housing wears most where the corner piece of the apex seal rides.
High mile irons will show a football shaped wear pattern from the side/corner seals. There can be a LOT of wear on these and still be very usable.
