Brake Pad Replacement - Turn Rotors???
Just got a new set of brake pads today and I was wondering if, when I replace the pads should I have the rotors turned? The rotors were replaced about 20k miles ago and look good with no gouges or scoring. What's the right way to do this??? :confused:
Also, anyone know of a good site with a description of the process? Any tips or things I should look out for? 1st time I've done this on a C5...

iF not warped I'd reuse them.
Turning makes them thinner and therefore earier to warp.
Else, replace them...what's the cost OEM @ $70 a peice?

Your rotors should be fine.
rockauto.com sells the raybestos rotors for $100 shipped set of 4.
