Brake Change Time

You are still shaving metal away, not exactly a smart thing to do given you are taken away what it is suppose to do! If they have heavy deposits/grooves/lips on

You are still shaving metal away, not exactly a smart thing to do given you are taken away what it is suppose to do! If they have heavy deposits/grooves/lips on them, simply throw them away and get new ones. A simple rub on the rotor will take all the old deposits away, that's what you want primarily, it's especially true if you are staying with the same compound.

I just changed my pads again last night and the car is still stopping like it should. I must have missed the note about how resurfacing is a must every time you put on new pads. Oh, and I have changed my pads about 10 times in just the 370 alone..... I am sure all the track nuts aren't stupid enough to buy new rotors each time they swap pads for the track.
