Question on brakes

[DFW02S]

As long as that ridge is outside the brake pad surface, it's no big deal.
Shouldn't happen with OEM pads.

On some aftermarket (track) pads, it may be inside the pad surface, it will cut into the pad as the pad wears. I don't see it as an issue on my own car.

+1...ya check the pads you are putting on don't now overlap it. It maybe that the technician had that concern, or was just trying to make some extra $. If the pads are the same I wouldn't take the lathe to it, but maybe others can think of a reason. A lip of 5mm is not a lot, just about enough to catch your finger nail on, I can't see how it would effect braking.
