Hi Badad,

Unfortunately with the 17% VAT there finding a good deal on new rotors may be tough. I'd try to have them turned first since you have nothing to lose if they can't do it without going too thin. Unless you have significant rotor wear you can probably get away with a "light turning". The idea is to get the glaze off the rotors so the new pads will seat in immediately.

I just put Rotex Golds on my SRT-6, and here are some pictures of the final assembly with freshly turned and painted rotors. It cost me less than $50 US to have them bead blasted and turned. In this part of North America there are issues with rotors getting rusty and seizing to the hubs, hence the blasting. When I reassembled them I used copper Anti-Seize on the mounting surfaces between the hubs, rotors, and wheels.

Cheers!
