Default Re: turning rotors, rules of the game......

You really need to look at the pad surface. If there is cracking, if the surface seems much lighter then the rest of the pad, or if material flacks off, the pads are shot. Look for "rust jacking" between the steel backing plate and the pad material. If the pads are grooving the rotors then the material is much too aggressive and you should be looking for a different pad.
