Rear rotors are fine.

I definitely didn't see this at the track yesterday, so I either picked up some debris going through the various construction zones yesterday or something happened to the OEM pads when I faded them out that caused it to happen today once they were cool.

I'll post pictures tonight when I pop the pads off.

Any recommendations for good rotors locally?
Seems odd if your pad depth is still fine. Is it possible your OEM pads are down to the backing plates or close? Perhaps you ate through the rest of your pads yesterday...

I'm still on my original rotors after 56K and except for some heat checks, they are still pretty good.

I'll PM you re; the rotors.
