So I just looked at my rotors today and saw the following one the front rotors. The passengers side has 2 circular scratches while the drivers has 1. Rear rotors have none. This normal or an issue I have to worry about? I felt the rotors after driving it and the rear ones seemed the hottest, not the front.

That's pretty much the way brake rotors wear.

Looks normal to me.

Normal.

gonna explode, replace the car!

Normal. Long life pads like ceramics tend to scratch up the rotors even worse than where your at now.

Cheap pads can do a job on rotors, too. I've had some come out looking like washboards in the radial direction.

I knw you've got it all back together now, but did you scuff the rotors up with emery cloth before putting the new pads in?

I actually did not replace the pads. They are still the same pads that I purchased the car with (the dealer replaced them when I first got it). Only thing I have done so far is replace the lines with ss lines and then paint the calipers.

And guess what pads dealers like to use?

The most dirt cheap ones they can get their hands on lol.
