Are my rotors toast?

At what point do you know you need to replace a rotor?
No shuddering under braking, so that's good.
When I rotated my tires, I saw that there were big grooves on the rear rotor.
I have to get new front pads and calipers, and I wondered if I need to get rear too.
Yay, more money on the van.

They're not toast, they're round.
Okay, seriously though. If you've got grooves on the rotors, it'll just chew up new pads (look for grooves on the old pads to match). Shuddering comes from a warped rotor and if you don't have that then they're not warped.
A lot of brake shops will tell you for free if you need new parts - drop in to one of those.

Thanks Paul!
I'll just pop by and have someone have a look.
Got all the bits for the front, and I am looking forward to the project.

Butch at CVI turned my rotors. Cheap too.

Never realized it was the rear. Yeah you can get them turned, but the rear are just Montero rotors you can get anywhere so I would just replace them. Then you know your starting point, and they are not horribly priced because they are not Delica specific.
