When installing new rotors do they have to be turned first or are they good to go out of the box?

new rotors are good to go from the box. just clean them with a brake cleaner before you install the pads, as rotors have a thin protective film on them to prevent rust etc in shipping and storage

Is the electronic steering in a 2007 Saturn Ion directly related to the brakes in any way. Which makes you think that possibly you have warped rotors?
No, the electronic steering has nothing in common with the brakes. If you have a warped rotors the fix is to remove the rotors and have them turned at a machine shop. Also replace the pads at this time, no matter how good they look.
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.
Where can I purchase brake rotors online?
You can purchase break rotors online at Rotorsonline.com. Putting on break rotors is a little time consuming. You will have to take the tires completely off to put the rotors back on. It will be good if you had a vehicle lift or a really good jack.
What is causing 1998 camaroz28 front rotors to warpNew pads and rotors warp within 1500 miles?
calipers may not be depressing all the way , causing the brakes to drag and heat up rotors causing them to warp + another possibility is tightening down the rotor TOO tight onto the hub- or - not having it turned and rubbing uneven- good idea to turn the rotors onn each brake change if you have been just leaving the rotors on- and changing pads- this may be the issue- 2dynamic
Is it necessary to cut brake rotors when changing pads. The rotors are cross-drilled and slotted?
If rotors are smooth and shiny, they are good. If still not certain, ask at brake shop.
Is it necessary to change brake pads when changing rotors?
When rotors need to be changed usually the pads have worn down. It is always a good idea to change pads when changing rotors.
The Brakes on my 1994 Toyota are soft. You can push almost all the way down. My pads shoes are good I just had my rotors turned. How do I adjust.?
sound to me like you have air in your brake lines try bleeding your brakes
When I'm going to slow down from a speed of at least 60mph i feel my steering wheel shake and vibrate Is this something with the rotors?
Yes more than likely, warped rotors. Have rotors turned if thick enough as well as new brake pads installed. If the rotors do not meet a minimum thickness requirements, they will have to be replaced as well. A good shake down of the front end wouldn't hurt either. Sometimes bearing, tie rods, etc... can cause stuff to happen as well. But I would bank on the warped rotor idea, no doubt. Good Luck. Let me know if further questions.
Where can I find information about brembo brake rotors?

Are Brimbo Rotors and Green Stuff Pads a good upgrade when changing the front rotors and pads on a 2003 Honda CRV and how did it work out if anyone has switched to those products?
I have Brembo rotors on my 2003 CRV, but I'm still using the original Honda brake pads, and it works really good for me and the Rotors are better than the original Rotor's from the dealer...But I never tried the Green Stuff Pad's yet. I hope this help's. + Bembros are top of the line stuff... recommend the calipers as a first purchase to keep things running smoothly- starting with rotors and pads may not give you what you need- 2dynamic
Could you inform me about rotors?
This website http://auto.howstuffworks.com/auto-parts/brakes/brake-parts/brake-rotors.htm is a good source on how rotors work. This site will also help on deciding which rotors are best for your vehicle.
On a BMW 525 do you always have to replace the brakes and rotors at the same time?
No. But here's the grocery list. If new pads are going on, the rotors should at least be turned. If the rotors are being replaced with new ones, putting on the old pads doesn't make sense. Get new ones. If it's just a service and the rotors need to be turned, again, it doesn't make sense to put the old pads back on. It may be cheaper to "skip a step" or something, but in the long run it isn't worth it. Safety issues aside, you'll have to replace something sooner or later. No good mechanic will tell you anything but what is on this list. (He may say "yes" instead of the "no" you got here, but his reasoning will match what you have just read.
