I did rotors and pads 3 years ago, and with COVID and everything the car probably only has 20k miles on it since then. Months ago the front end started the old brake-and-shake, and I finally got a chance to redo pads and rotors today. Pads are maybe 1/4 of the way down from full, and the rotors looked ok, however, I noticed where the pad meets the back side of the rotor its ... cupped, for lack of a better term. No hard 'lip' on the edge of the mating surface, but the inside of the rotor was concave.
They were Zimmermans, I thought a good brand. I didn't even bother swapping the pads.
I've had the car for 16 years now and it's always devoured front rotors. I don't consider myself a hard driver, and I do mostly highway.
Is there some trick to this? Have other people experienced this too?
