I’ve seen worse… imo your still good till the rotor disconnects from hub. J/k about still being good, but I have worked on a customers car that felt that way. Surprisingly it wasn’t Jam either. ---

> [@Pauly](#): > > I used to love when customer would come into the shop and say my brakes JUST started making noise- and it would be halfway through the rotor haha I’d get the same thing. I even had one so bad that the caliper piston was grabbing the rotor to stop the car and you could see the vanes through the rotor. ---

should have seen the rear brakes off Dstars truck (dads truck?) the inner surface was worn AWAY and the fins had ejected the inner brake pads and shattered the pistons in the calipers. looks like you were only a fraction of an inch away from that, lol ---

You still have a flat surface there. What’s nice is when you see one that is worn through into the vents. ---
