Scott,
I don't know about "pushing" Snowwind. I haven't ever had to do that....and at my age I wouldn't want to try.
However, as best I can remember from his former faster years, the fronts did not wear nearly as fast as the rears.
Sure there is a little more dust in the front from time to time, but the groovy stuff came in the rear rotors always...
I had Snow's brakes all pulled 2 years ago and invested about 825.00 in overhauling them totally OEM....so, what we found was: 2 calipers fine, left front, right front, rears shot, all corners got pads, two rears got rotors, plus the right front. Left front turned, I wanted new for his last set but the left front is the original rotor, turned once.. what am I forgetting??? Oh yea, the brake tech and his BFH and the right rear caliper.....he asked me nicely to walk away and took the biggest cheater bar to Snow and said, "You give up or I will beat it off you."" He gave it up.!

I never turned my rotors. Even with a score in the inner side of one disk, the pad wears to the contour of the disk surface. They worked fine and wore fine. At 126k I just replaced the OEM rotors with the AZ cheapies Scott recommended. They were in pretty bad shape after all these years. But up until recently they ran true. If I have a disk that doesnt pulse I dont f'with it.

Just replace my front rotors about 19 bucks a side from Big A auto. 19 bucks new vs 12 bucks turning what is already known to be a warp prone rotor? It's a no brainer for me. Go with the cheap new ones. As for turning when changing pads, I would not. There is little wear to rotors unless pads were left on too long and there was metal to metal contact. As for grinding off rust on the outter edge, why bother. You will just expose fresh metal which will rust immediately. Grinding off rust only makes sense when you are gonna paint the area afterwards.

Marlene,
If you are driving a SHO named Snowwind, then you must be very young in spirit! Maybe a little spirited "heel and toe" driving would be exhilerating and good for both of you, but not in spiked heels. (tongue planted firmly in cheek)
YOU GO GIRL! rangerj (Jack)
