I switched to my winter tires today and took the opportunity to service the brakes. I took some pics for some laughs.
1. My front calipers have grooves worn in their iron where the pads slide. My pads don't have hardware and don't really seem to fit the calipers that well. I'm not sure if I need new caliper brackets or just get pads with hardware.
3. My rear rotors are so rusted it's embarrassing. I rebuilt the rear calipers about a year ago and the brake function has seemingly improved, but the rear rotors are heavily pitted. My RR caliper was leaking internally before I rebuilt it, and both calipers seem to function well again although I cannot tell if the RR caliper is at 100% because of how pitted the rotor is. I passed a safety inspection 2 years ago with obviously malfunctioning rear brakes with super rusty rotors. They used to be worse than this.
