I'm going to replace the pads on the rears. ( did the fronts lot too long ago ) the rotors seem pretty smooth with no ridging. Should I still turn em?

The pads break-in to a newly machined rotor better/quicker. Less chance of glazing. But either works.

I Always turn the rotors when replacing pads. As said they break into a new rotor better.

Well each time you turn them they get thinner & will have a better chance at warping...I just have them bust the glaze & any deposits off if not warped.
