Some varying thoughts expressed here on how far to push brake parts. If this was my car (also a DD) I would replace the rotors, my reasoning being that, even though they are within spec now, the next time you come to replace the worn pads they will definitely be worn past min spec and you will have been running them that way for some time as you probably will not replace the pads again until they are completely worn down. Resurfacing is not an option as these are drilled rotors we are looking at.

I'd have to agree, for the most part, with Welles. Brakes are not the component to try and cheap out on. I'm always amazed that some people are willing to spend big bucks on fancy Techart wheels but don't want to spends a couple of hundred on something actually important, like brakes.
