    Surface rust on the lines isnt a issue really, but if they look super bittle and you think they might snap with some pressure from your hand, then you might want to address it.

    The grinding means your pads are gone and the backing plate is grinding metal on metal with the rotor. So its time to buy some new pads and rotors.

    Rotor are completely fine though. I'm changing brake lines because they might pop if I brake to hard which is bad I'm changing brake pads after that's done

    I wouldnt pad slap rotors, and you best be sure the inside of the rotor is still fine. You might not see where the issue is.

    Take the rotors to get turned if they have enough meat on them or just buy new rotors.
