Brakes

[denis jiron <doj27288@csun.edu>]

Hello all,
I've noticed some talking concerning brakes recently. My question
is....how do you know if your discs or drums need to be machined?
I'm getting ready to do my first brake job on the car myself, so I would
like any pointers on what to look for. Oh yeah, more importantly, how do
you know if you really do NEED brakes? 

Thanks,
