They were out of tolerance when I had them resurfaced. I guess this is why Mercedes does not resurface rotors when they do a break job. I was amazed at how worn they were at that mileage. Based on my experience I am suggesting you check the rotors for wear.
I do not think many people turn the rotors anymore, they are much cheaper than they were and the rust gets bad inside the cooling slots anyway, well around here they do. Mine are fine, no winter salt so very little rust.
