Default I couldn't resist another pair of skis

I would change those pads right now. If they get down to the rivets
the rotors will be damaged.


Long ago (78 LTD) I didn't have time to deal with the brakes when the
little springy thing started making noise. (I don't know if these have
a little springy thing.) Ultimately the grinding noises were really
annoying and when the hogging in started and braking was actually
affected I bit the bullet and had the brakes done. The rotors had
really impressive grooves -- some 1/4 inch deep. Looked like a
beginner's lathe project. The amazing thing was that the braking itself
worked fine until the hogging in started. It cost an extra $10/wheel to
replace the rotors.
