Last weekend I noticed that my front pads were almost dead. I ordered another set of Porterfield R4-S's but they won't be here for a week or two. So I'm thinking I'll throw on my stock fronts which have plenty of meat on them.

The rotors are the originals. When I put the Porterfield's on a year ago, they were pretty flat, but now they are slightly grooved from normal use. I don't get any pulsing at all though. They feel great.

So my first question is, should I get the rotors turned? And if so, should I get them turned before reinstalling the stock pads or right before installing the Porterfields (which may not happen until Spring depending on how I like the stockers)?

2ndly, Any local place that will do a good job without breaking the bank? They'd need to be open Saturday too.
