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.
You got a good deal on the rotors. I've seen rotors ground to the
ribs. In high school I operated a lathe and ground some of my buddies
rotors. That was just before I became a famous New York City fashion
model.
