[QUOTE="Ryan Schaecher, post: 528535, member: 56872"] The only reason that I thought about turning the rotors was to knock off the ridge that the OE pads left. The passenger side inner pad had worn down to metal and left a few grooves in the rotor it self. I really don't see this as a big deal. I've seen rotors look much worse. If you ever hear about me crashing due to broken rotor, then you can say "told ya so", but that's not going to happen. Why spend an extra $200 if you don't have to? The OE rotors still work great for me. 62K miles on rotors, 60K mile on OE pads. No complaints. Can rotors warp after 4k miles? Yep. Especially OEM rotors. My '96 Taurus was owned by my uncle who bought it new. He replaced the rotors origionally around 10k miles due to warping. I had them replaced AGAIN at around 95K miles for warping issues that happened before I bought it. [/QUOTE]
