I used to know a guy who ran an independent car repair shop.  He was highly
recommended.  He told me that approx. 70% of new rotors are NOT true - in
varying degrees........

Ask me how I know this!

Not sure about new pads on old rotors, but your note reminded me that my
local non-LBC mechanic swears by having new rotors turned before installing.
Says even new ones aren't always true. Maybe he's just conning me, trying to
make a buck, but he only charges a few bucks each, so he's not making much!
Coincidentally(?), the marks left on the newly turned rotors are in a swirl
pattern. Maybe there's something to your emery cloth idea.
