Default Brake Question
Someone told me my brakes were "grooving." What does that mean? I know nothing about brakes. Do they need to be replaced?

Default It's because you didn't paint them!!
It actually means that the pads are cutting grooves into the rotors. There is an acceptable limit to this that can be turned out. (made flat again)
