bad.

thats not THAT bad....you have about 25% pad life left....the discoloring on the rotors is just from heat. Just rub your finger from the hub outward and if you feel grooves or waves thats warpage..

just turn the rotors and put some new pads on and you'll be fine.

getting the rotors turned for free.

the pads were/are a b!tch to put on. i got the drivers side done and the passenger side is going to kill me.

why? just remove the lower caliper bolt, tilt the caliper up, slide the caliper off, push the new pads on the rotors and slide the caliper back down. whats going tough?

i took the whole thing off. getting it past the clips that hold it in and the wire springs sucked the most.

got my rotors turned and patched tire for free!

if you break the bleeder loose and push the caliper back in you should have no problem getting anything to fit.

yeah, i just bled the brakes a little, and found out i can get new rotors for 20$
