    Hello everyone, I will be getting all of my brake pads replaced at my local shop in a few days. The shop recommended I resurface the rotors but from the research I've done that might not even be necessary considering the condition of my rotors. ALL my rotors look to be pretty smooth and no major wear or lips. The left rear rotor has minor markings from metal to metal contact. and the front 2 have some rust, on the inner circumference of the rotor but that's about it. I will clean it with some brake cleaner and sand paper and see what it looks like after, but take a look at the pictures and tell me what you think. The two front ones were resurfaced at 86,000 and now I'm at 203,000.
