I've had rotors (and even drums) turned several times. I've had economy cars where I could replace the rotors for $10-20, so I did that. I've gotten to the point that I generally just slap the new pads in because the rotors are worn smoothly and evenly. Even if they have some mild axial grooving, the new pads conform to those grooves so quickly that it doesn't seem to matter or affect performance.

What's shocking, is the range of prices of parts available for my '08 Box S. For the fronts, the price seems to always vary between the right and left which is extra weird.

On Pelican, the prices range from $42ea up to $337ea for the front rotors.

I know the stock is drilled. THere are also slotted available, and half a dozen brands.

I keep hearing/reading that ceramic is the way to go to reduce the amount of brake dust.
