What are you talking about? There's a little wear left on those.

Holy crap. Wore it all the way through. I wonder what the other side looks like.

Eh, they probably just rusted through.

Didn't the owner hear the racket when they started to wear out the rotor?

G35 coupe with the Brembo package? Regardless, that's legal but obscene extortion.

looks fine. started up a discussion ont hat other forum about how this must've been fake.

but others are saying one caliper can fail and cause one break to wear like crazy.

It does look fake. It seems to me that it wouldn't wear through cleanly and all around like that. Instead, one place would wear through first and the rotor would catch and shatter.
