Here are some pictures I took last week of my front and rear pads uploaded to Microsoft OneDrive. If I do need new brake pads, do I need new rotors too? Any suggestion on these please? https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resi...hint=folder%2c Thanks, Alan

Replacing brake pads Infiniti G37 sport brakes | G37 Akebono big brake pad replacement As for telling whether they are worn or not, that's easy. You want to replace them before the pad materials wear completely away, exposing the metal backing plate. You know, before the brakes start screeching metal on metal.

Thanks for the information both of you!
Can I just trust the brake light wear indicator to inform me that the brake pads are worn to avoid checking the brake pad manually?
