Ok, after making a wrong turn onto a gravel road I noticed some extra schreeching and grinding in the brakes (usually just squeaks a liiiitle). As I got off the gravel road and started braking hard to see what it was like I noticed a HEAVY grinding, that I could hear and feel in the pedal. Pulled over checked it out, and I saw some scarring, but only on the upper diameter of the circle.
Now its been getting worse and worse, and the scarring has continued to cover the entire surface of the rotor . I thought it would be bad pads, but really, would it scar it this bad? I ran my finger along the surface of the rotor and I can feel "ridges" in it from the deep scarring. What the hell could this be? I know the rotor is screwed, but what caused this.
