The old S2000 ones didn't even get that bad after the pad disintigrated and made sparks off the dics

looks like heavy corrotion *sp* due to the disc being defect. I only say that as you said the pads were fine?

agree with ed dude, no need for grooved discs, GM stuff is good enough, nowt wrong with my brakes, only minor niggle is the amount of brake dust the GM pads kick out
