Q: Should I turn my rotors when installing new brake pads? 

A: Rotors should not be replaced or turned down simply because you are replacing pads. The best way to bed your new pads is with a rotor that has already been bedded. The rotor is basically the radiator for your brake system. The larger the rotor for any given design, the better it cools. Each time you turn down a rotor, you remove material; therefore, you remove some of its ability to cool. You should regularly inspect your rotors for conditions such as cracks or excessive wear and immediately replace them if they are defective or out of spec.
