Pulled a Homer

Ok I got the rotors off and new ones on. Problem is I was in a hurry and put one of the pads on inside out. Inside, left, front if that matters. Before fixing the rotor got mucked up a little. Should I go ahead and get new pads and rotor right away or will I be ok till spring?

that is hard to say without seeing the parts.

If it were me, I would have the rotor turned and put a new pad on.
(well, if it were me, I would have done it right the first time... but you know what I mean...)

Turning the rotor now might save you time and money later... if you use it all chewed up it will wear irregularly and probably cause rough braking much sooner. At that point you might need to buy a new rotor.
