Porsche OEM rotors are made of a high quality material and can take a little shaved off. I had mine done for $10 each at a NAPA store that has a very good machine shop. The machinist understood what I wanted and just barely shaved them smooth for me. They work great with the Posi Quite pads I purchased from Houston at Cquence.
He has an "S" meaning the rotors are cross drilled.
I don't think you can machine cross drilled rotors

You can, but the operator needs to be patient.
