    Either OEM or EBC "Yellow". As long as rotors are serviceable they can be turned. I generally scuff 'em up with sandpaper and go another round, but then I don't let then get far from good shape to begin with.

    Haven't even pulled the wheels and inspected them. Can't lie about that.

    Not sure any shop around me turn rotors anymore. For the price of a rotor vs price of lathe...

    I usually take a fine (320 grit of lighter) disc on a die grinder and LIGHTLY surface rotors Just enough to knock off the glaze, not enough to leave much more than a light cross hatch. Then pads. New rotors every other time. Has worked well for me for literally MILLIONS of miles on a bunch of vehicles.

    If I can find a place to turn them, I'll do that and just get pads.

    My normal brake change method used to be pads only if the rotor surface wasn't too wavy or otherwise impaired.

    I guess they don't sell it anymore. Check your year and mine. Everything on there is powerstop. Powerstop is good too.

    When I searched for just rotors, I found the Centric stuff. Not sold as a rotor/pad kit

    My bad man

    I'll probably be cheap, usual, and get oem equivalent or just a bump up.

    Serious...EBC Yellow. Can be had @ Auto Zone or Amazon. Not expensive and very good quality/performance. I had MUCH experience with them on bikes. Used 'em on my Dodge and gooseneck trailers hauling farm tractors that might have exceeded capacity of truck/trailer. Nothing but good luck.

    Good "bump" from OEM.

    Where does $100 for brake pads fall into the 'not expensive' category?

    I applied for and received commercial accounts @ Auto Zone, Advance Auto, NAPA, and O'Reilly stores nearby.

    Huge mark up on most aftermarket stuff. They'll work with you and avoid much of that mark up. Just gotta give a name of a business with your phone # and mailing addy. I use my property rental business. It works for me. Saves money.
