Do I need new brakes??
Hello All!
Trying to make an educated decision here. 5000 miles ago I switched from oem brakes to EBC red stuff pads to reduce brake dust. At the time, my co-worker mechanic told me that he could resurface slotted rotors (yes I know, sigh) so he did. Car was braking just fine, no issues until recently. Bad vibration coming from high speeds when braking. We check out the rotors and the front 2 rotors are heavily warped. I’m not sure if I ruined them when I got the rotors resurfaced.
Anyways, I got 2 new rotors but according to every forum I’ve read, it is highly suggested to also replace the pads. Given that they only have 5,000 miles, if that, I’m relunctant to replace them. What are the odds that my brakes are also compromised? Should I even risk it or just shell out and get new pads?
