We're looking at a car that had just the pads changed 4 months ago, the rotors we're not sure of their condition. So 4 months later he has a brake wear light come on.

Deducing what I think would be the issue, through what I have read and the amount of time it took for the brake wear light to come on.

I have a very reputable Porsche parts seller that says even with new pads the rotor can cut the wire.

Quote:
Grinding, pulsating and a lack of stopping power are signs of a bad brake rotor. If your brake pads have worn deep into your rotor, the lip on the outer edge of the rotor can cut into your pad wear sensors, causing a brake pad warning to appear in the instrument cluster - even if your brake pads are new. Rotors should be checked every time you service your brakes.

Do you think it's wise to call me wrong right off the bat?

I look forward to ECS Tuning's reply on this. I hope they respond directly to this thread.
