Doing the front struts and stab links today. Saw that my brake pads are quite worn on the front. A brake job will be required soon. Might as well do it now while everything is apart and I've spent two Saturdays in a row on this thing.
Noticed that the rotors' surfaces are far from smooth. While the rears were smooth, these have an undulating surface, in the sense of grooves that are rounded, not sharp. So, if I replace pads, I assume I'll be wearing those grooves into the pad. Plus, the surface contact of the pad to grooved rotor will not be as it should be. Does this mean it's rotor replacement time or getting them turned?
