Cal,
I just wanted to be sure they are not dangerous. If they are too thin then they are libel to warp right away anyway. They do look smooth but really glazed over looking. This Unique is about 20 years old with only 2K miles on it and at some point in it's life the brake fluid soaked up a lot of moisture and air so the brakes weren't even being used to their full capacity. One of the front calipers wound up being locked up and the rotors were right at min thickness. So I wanted to be sure the rear calipers were working and the rotors are in good shape. I was worried that when I put it all back together and they are working at full capacity like they are supposed to then the weak parts would show themselves.
I found that the rear pads were about 90% good but really glazed over. I roughed the surface of them back up and re-installed them. But I am worried about the rotor being to shiny for the pads the bed down again. I have heard that the mating process is crucial to good braking?
Thanks Jon, Bob, and Tony for all the help so far!

Chad
