A Bit of Rear Rotor Wear (Visually Noticeable) Anything to Worry About?
Peeps,
I have a bit of rear rotor wear on the outside 1 inch or on the outside/lip of the rear rotor. I did change our the all 4 pads, sensors, but kept all the stock rotors as there was no wear on them at time about a year ago. (I had them all checked & measured before new pads went on.)
I'm guessing the EBC redstuff pads are just being a bit tougher on the rotors vs. the stock pads, so should I get new rear rotors and keep my existing pads or replace those as well?
Braking is great/solid I have no issues, but the wear is notificable from a visual inspection standpoint.
Thanks as always for the advice.

I replaced the original front rotors at 112K. They were utterly destroyed, with huge grooves, heat spots, and cracks coming out of every hole, and they still performed great and never gave me any trouble. I replaced the rears a few thousand later and it was the same story. All of the rotors looked pretty good when I installed redstuffs at 82K, but apparantly they like to eat rotors. I took a pic with my phone, I couldn't believe I let them get that bad. With that said, you should be fine.
