Rotor grooves < 10k miles
So i noticed today that i'm starting to show signs of rotor grooving on some of my rotors, seems to be about 3 out of 4. The grooves are very shallow, but they'll only get bigger. My pads aren't wearing down to the rivets or scratcher but i'm starting to get some nice concentric grooves as if i was.
Anyone else seeing this set it? I am assuming it's just due to cheap rotor material getting too soft while heated up or potentially some sand/dirt initiating the groove and then normal wear making it more pronounced. Just wanted to get an idea of how normal/abnormal such early signs of rotor wear are on our cars. I will probably hunt down some better rotors when it comes time to change out the pads. Also, I assume the V6 rotors aren't the same ones on the standard SS? That would be too easy. |

Might be worth taking out the pads (assuming they have more than 4-5mm left) and wipe them clean from dust/debris. Then a hard bed-in session might get them resurfaced.
Won't work for sure, but solved this problem for me before.
