I know they dont do this for rotors anymore
But say you have grooved worn rotors (that even if places still turned em, they still need to be replaced) and the pads are grooved, does anyone grind down otherwise good pads that have more than 50% life to remove the grooves? Planning on new rotors, but not sure about the pads.

I've done it, but not on my Camaro or any other high performance car. On my Tundra, when the pads still had like 75% material left, but I needed new rotors due to warpage. I laid 80 grit sand paper on a flat surface and made several passes over it with the pads. It quickly resurfaced the pads and I'm still running them thousands of miles later with zero issues. I don't see why you couldn't do the same, just make sure the pads remain flat and the same thickness all around after you resurface them.

And I dont want to “groove” the new rotors right away.
