No, unless they are rusted.

Do you need to grind the rotors when placing new brake pads?
If the rotors are in good condition, not warped, not scratched, then you can replace the pads without turning the rotors. Inspect the rotors carefully.
Could the rotors be that bad after installing new front brake pads on a 2002 Chevy Blazer when you are driving and apply the brakes it pulsates?
Either warped rotors or drums can cause pulsating. Apply the parking brake slowly while going about 15mph and see if t pulsates. If it does, it is the drums that need turning. If not, it is the rotors that need turning.
Do you need to lathe new rotors with new pads?
I believe most mechanics recommend turning the rotors anytime the brake pads are replaced. Otherwise, any gouges or flaws in the rotor will reduce brake pad life significantly.
How does your car react if you need rotors?
There was a lot of squeaking while braking when my car needed new rotors.
Do you need new rotors when you get new brake pads on an Audi?
It depends on the amount of wear on the rotors. If they are grooved or pitted you will need to get them turned at a machine shop. Rotors have minimum thicknesses assigned by the engineers that designed them. So if they are too thin, or if turning them will make them too thin once they are flat, you will need to get new ones. To prevent a situation like this from happening make sure to get your pads changed when they require it. Usually they will start squealing from a small metal strip that comes off them designed for this purpose. If you let the pads go so long they start to grind against your rotors it's too late.
Why does car vibrate when stop?
You probably need new rotors
How do you change rotors on a 1991 accord?
remove tire calipers brake assembly then pull your rotors off i would recomend putting new brake pads if your putting new rotors you will need a special puller for the rotors cause they are pressed on
Do you cut rotors after brake job?
It's a good idea. Typically, when you have brakes done at a garage, turning the rotors are part of the deal. If you don't turn the rotors, imperfection in the rotor surface can create grooves and uneven wear in your new pads.
What causes a grinding noise after you got new brake pads and rotors?
This is often caused by installing new pads on worn or slightly worn rotors. Buying new rotors or turning the same rotors would make a smooth surface for the new pads to rub against. Any surface that is less than smooth will cause some grinding for a few days or maybe longer. It also shortens the life of your new pads.
Had new front brakes put on why is car shaking now?
New pads need to wear into the shape Of your rotor surface. If you hard brake before they've formed to the surface they'll make a dent, or warp your rotors. A simple turning for your rotors should fix you up. Try not to brake excessively hard for about 60 to100 miles when breaking in new pads.
If I want performance rotors do I need to put them on the front and back or will just new front rotors work?
The majority of the stopping power is performed by the front rotors. I would start by replacing them.
Can u turn slotted rotors?
As long as they will not be undersized after turning.
