Default Re: Brake problem. Need advice?

Oddly enough, the brake wear indicator still hasn't come on.

I don't know if it's just me noticing it more now, I do listen for it intently now, but it seems to be much more noticeable. I'm figuring I need the caliper rebuilt and at least the rotor put on a lathe.

Does anyone know how tough our rotors are?
Just a note to mention that the rear brake pads DO NOT have the wires and wear indicator sensors which will trigger that light.
This is only on the front pads.
