they're fairly cheap new, so is it even worth it to resurface?

how much is resurfacing anyway?

i think they'll be healthy with a resurface, but i'm not even sure where i can go around here to get that done.

currently though i think they're glazed over. braking sucks, and the pads are near the end of their life..

when i worked at an auto parts store, we charged 10 dollars a rotor. usually takes about 10 minutes a rotor, unless they were really warped then it would take about half an hour or so.

I just bought new brembo blanks for 39/rotor. Bought it at buybrakes.com. Also bought AEM pads to get free shipping on the order.

Why not switch to autozone blanks? I run them on meh track car, they are excellent and have a warranty.
