Hi, that type of cracking will be deemed OK - you've been giving the brakes a good workout thats for sure. Its when they get to the outside edge you need to worry

Depends what abuse you have put them through. If it just road use then that's pretty poor. If you've been hammering it on track then I'd suggest that it's a bit more acceptable.
