We do, the slotted one's are 32 each and it takes about an hour to an hour and a half.

Never re-surface rotors! if they are warped buy new... once turned they will be worse! I have never turned a rotor ever. I have put 3-4 sets of pads on some...

We can get them cut for $30, but if you plan on doing any performance driving, a cut rotor will heat soak faster because there is less material there.

It might be better to get you a set of new rotors.
