How do you know if they arent wrapped or in bad shape though? Im talking for the average guy here, not a mechanic that has done 40 million brakes jobs. :rolleyes:
I thought my Accords rotors were fine so I just did the pads, 3 months later I hear a grinding noise was coming from the back (where I changed my pads) and the pads was almost done on the bottom but completely fine on top. Asked my mechanic freind about it and his 1st question was did I change the rotors. Change sthe rotors, replaced the pads, and have no problems anymore.
