 Yes Robert you must have the rotors and drums turned every time you
 replace the pads to ensure you get the maximum life out of your pads, if
 you don't the rotors(drums) might develop high/low spots and when the pads
 hit these spots while your braking it will really eat the pads up (Also it
 will wear out the rotors quicker, and rotors ain't cheap),

No you don't, If the Rotors are not warped and are parallel they do not need
to be machined, same with the drums. The best surface for a Pad/Shoe is that
of an already used rotor/drum. then that of a swirlled rotor

 besides
 Autozone and most other auto parts places wil turn them for free so all it
 costs you is going to their store and the rewards will be extended life on
 your pads and rotors(drums) which will save you money in the long run....

Last time I checked it was about $7 to turn rotos and drums at JunkZone!
