i dont even bother turning rotors.... you can get new ones for as little as $20 each, why waste the hour turning em.

Yeah, why are you welcoming someone with 100+ posts, weirdo?
No reason to start name calling on here sniper. I guess someone like you has never misread a post or made a mistake.......I'll have to check with you next time so that I never make a mistake.

Well, if by an hour, you mean 20 minutes, then OK. But there's really no NEED to buy new rotors...

I measured the rotors, they are about 13/16" thick (appx. 21 mm). That might not be 100% accurate because I didn't take the wheel off, or use a micrometer.

Is "they feel like they are warped" a good enough reason to assume they are warped?

can I just take the rotors off and walk over to the local shop and say "here, machine these"?

there is a Monroe Muffler & Brake within walking distance, and an Advance Auto Parts too.

yeah, just carry them in, though you may want to call first. they will measure them, and if they are too thin, they wont turn them anyway, so youll need new ones, but thats kinda where you are now either way, right?

Most places will try to sell you new rotors no matter what.
