Two things I never try scrimp on: tires and brakes. I don't ever remember having any rotors turned on any vehicle I have owned and I have done a lot of brake jobs over the years. Recently I did a brake job on my 2002S w 43,000 mi. The pads looked original and were worn almost to the sensor. Rotors had .5+ mm lip so I just replaced them. That extra foot of stopping distance may be important in a critical situation.

Seems to me that kind of rotor will eat up pads. Looks like a cheese grader.
