[brakes] rotor spots

[Larry" <rocco16v@netzero.com (Larry)]

Dan-
  the spots shouldn't worry you as much as the scoring.  Are you running
metalic pads?
 If the rotor thickness is still okay, just have them turned. The only thing
that can go "bad" on a rotor is the surface (unless they actually crack,
that is)
Drilled or slotted rotors have little or no benefit on the street.  In fact,
they can hurt performance by reducing swept area.  Unless you want the
'look', save your money.
SS lines will improve "feel", without actually increasing braking power.
