When I checked it, the top 1/2 inch of my rotor is getting ground indentations in it.(It looks like a bright silver halo that is rougher than crap) I mean they are rough ridges. I have some pad left and am not sure if it migh be something else. I know my rotor is shot because there is no way they could smooth this out. Just wondering if some one could give me a heads up befor I change it out this weekend. Thanks

When the dealer sold me my used car, I ended up having to replace the rotors and the pads and buying a $10 piece of metal because the front left clip didn't exist when bought. -1998.5 Contour SE V6 ATX. PM me to tell me of a welder that can craft me a modified Y pipe in the Los Angeles area! OR I may be willing to buy a 3 flange modified Y.
