If its not too bad u can get ur discs machined , otherwise if its below service depth u will need to purchase new discs !
At the start of this review it was stated to check ur pads and discs for warpage/chunks missing. But can a brake pad get warpped???Quote:

when ur disc is warped u can definately tell, looks like a dam smiths crisp! :rolleyes:
yep, you can feel the grooves in the disk brake. just run your fingers over the surface.
edit: i should say DEEP grooves.
edit again: also you can hear it making an odd noise after hard braking.
thats sum interesting shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit =)
Great DIY, and this job can save you good $$.
Am I right in saying you should also try to avoid touching the pads/discs?
