Should rotors be refinished anytime brake pads are replaced?
Ideally, resurfacing (also called “turning” or “cutting”) brake rotors should be done whenever the brake pads are changed. Anytime the brake pads have been allowed to wear down to the wear indicator causing an audible squeal under braking, the rotors should be resurfaced and inspected.
What happens when you have a problem with your brake calipers?
Whenever you have issues with the brake calipers, you will have problems stopping the car. This can be dangerous, especially when you are traveling at high speeds. The brake calipers have pads attached to them that clap on the wheel rotors.
Do you need to replace your brake pads and rotors?
But sometimes, it is very possible to lubricate and release the stuck caliper pins. And in other cases, you need to replace the calipers completely. Also, it’s likely that you will need new brake pads and rotors. Whenever there is a brake job done on your car or replace a brake pad, you must replace the shims.
What happens when your brake rotors wear out?
It is the friction between brake pads and rotors that cause your car to slow down and stop. As the rotors wear out (become thin or warped), they are unable to dissipate the heat caused by the braking system. This will cause the brake fluid to boil and reduce the effectiveness of brake system significantly.

Why do replacment brake rotors reduce stopping distance?
The drilled/slotted rotors do REDUCE stopping distance,MOSTLY in racing or very aggresive driving situations,because when the pads get heated up fast they give off gases and the slots/holes let the gas escape without building up and pushing the pad away ,which reduces friction.
