Brakes seem to be more firm, but still not hard & biting.

I think rotors are scored, and
I think the pads are low, but I can’t even see.

I literally had the wheels off, and I have no clue if the pads are low.
There is no where to see the pad. Totally blocked views.

How are you supposed to see if your pads are low?

If you want to inspect the pads: undo the caliper guide pin and spin the caliper body away from the bracket. You can also peer into the channels of the caliper body.


Hard to say anything about your rotors or pads without pictures. Could be glazing. You'll have to spin the caliper if you want to pull the pads and inspect the surfaces


Rotor scoring can be normal depending on the extent.
