Rep Power: 400 Care to specify a little more? RF wheel doesn't help.
I'll fix it for $149.99, but it would help if you told us what.
If you have to turn the rotors, then just buy new ones, and replace the pads.
If you already have metal-metal on the brakes, plan on calipers too.

yep Boil's got the cure. unless you got a friend at a shop that can turn rotors for next to zero dollars, just buy new rotors and pads. if you're gonna spend $150 you could score both rotors and pads if you mail ordered or got a discount somewhere local.
if you haven't tried it doing a quick brake job its pretty simple, if you were to get rotors, pads, and all the work done @ the dealer it would cost probably $250-300 for the front brakes alone including the labor. just grab the parts and follow the DIY i'm sure you'll end up much better afterwards

turned rotors are also thinner... they work but heat up considerably faster and warp easier. not the end of the world, you can turn with ok results, but for the money spent... etc...
