Here is decription of what I see.

less than 1 year on new set of pads & rotors, low KM's like about 15000KM, family car with kiddies so no crazy performance type braking. Rotors have not worn smoothly but have many grooves. LOT of material worn off rotor in this time...like maybe 1.5mm per side (3mm total each rotor). Haven't had the pads off to check for even wear, though.

Waddya think?



Rotors dont wear smoothy because of lug nuts not being tightened to correct torque and or them being on not in sequence.

With your calipers are you sure your slide pins arent sticking have them been lubricated lately, also are you slide pin boots on, they prevent dirt from getting in there?

By the way your rotors are junk if you got 3mm off, that is a lot of wear, those thing are measured in thousands of an inch ya know.
