Brake pads

[greenacc]

Rotors should be at least ground when pads are renewed, so why grind when new rotors are around the same price, not to mention better than grinding old rotors down.

Unless there's a problem with the rotors, the only thing you achieve by machining rotors is wasting money! At best it let's the new pads bed in a little bit quicker, but you lose metal off the rotors so reduce the life of the rotors. Industry be and profiteering!

No need to machine discs just for sake of pad change, different if glazed or grooved or high spots. Otherwise, just limiting the life by removing material and also lessening the braking ability.

I only machine them if they need it, but I will machine them a few times before I go buy new ones. The problems that lead to machining are not putting the wheel nuts on in the correct order and with a torque wrench, having a dodgy wheel bearing, or using the pads past the warning it is time to change.

Who knows what you have to pay in Australia for this stuff, but. OEM rotors from China are $40 each here, front and back Bendix pads costs $50 all up, and skimming is $7 per rotor.
