Default StopTech rotor wear / worn out

I bought a used set of StopTech 332 BBK. I got it installed in early fall. They were slotted and and still had some depth. The guy who sold them to me told that they had like 6-12 months left. I'm running Pagid Blue pads. In the wet I feel that they stop poorly and my ABS comes on too early, but in the snow, the ABS comes on almost instantly! The rotors now are compleatly smooth. You can see where they were slotted but its compleatly smooth.

Should I use a track pad to re-bed them or are the rotors worn out?

the pads are fine with pleanty of meat left!

Default if they're under 30mm, then they're done.

Pagid Blues may have worn them down prematurely, since they are a bit much for a street pad. In the cold and wet, you may not be getting them up to working temps. - hence the poor braking.

fwiw, I use the Oranges as my track pads and plan to try the Blacks (14) next.

some Pagid pad discriptions found here:<ul><li><a href="http://www.rennstore.com/">http://www.rennstore.com/</a</li></ul>
