I am going to be replacing my front and rear brake pads on my 1995 Intrepid and I wanted to know others opinion of whether or not to turn the rotors. The car does not brake unevenly. However, the rotors have never been turned in the 60,000 miles I have owned it, and I am pretty sure they have a slight glaze. Opinions???

with 60,000 toss them out and buy new, rotors aren't what the used to be! and will cost nearly as much to machine as replace!
