Have a shop mic your rotors for out of round(warp).

Then you will be able to tell.

I had the stock rotors on till 80,000. Got the cross drilled brembos with HPS. Now at 185,000 I am going to look into new set of rotors and pads all around myself.

Side note:

I bought the MR disc brake guides to help cool the rotors at highway speed.

If you need pads/rotors i just went to cvrmotorsports.com they are a vendor on here as well. They have brake packages, i got mine for under $400. It came with all four rotors and pads all around. I am running OE centric blank rotors, with the Hawk Hps pads. I am happy with how they are especially for the price, i dont notice any difference between these and my factory ones. I woud recommend them but that just my .02 cents.

+1. Takes a lot to warp a rotor. Typically pad build up on the rotor surface that the pad is skipping over during braking. I would lightly sand the rotor surface with some sandpaper to remove the transfer film build up then rebed the pads in.

okay one more question, lets say my rotors arent warped, and i do the bed in process, and it fixes it and my brake pads are bad, do i need to get my rotors turned before the new pads, because not all pads are the same size, and there is a lip on the rotor from the oem pads

I never turned on new pads unless I had really bad transfer. When bedding the pads and driving the first 100-300 miles of DD, you will clean off the old pad material.
