Resurfacing Myths... Most people think a rotor needs to be resurfaced every time you change pads. This is not always the case, if a rotor is SO warped that it actually needs to be resurfaced you will remove so much material off the rotor resurfacing it will warp again within the first 1000 miles anyway. This will probably just make matters worse in the long run since you removed material causing more warping than had you just left them alone. Now depending on the pads that you use and type of driving you do, you might get by with replacing pads 2-3 times before having to replace the rotor. New rotors are inexpensive to buy from a local auto parts store IMO. Stock Z pads last about 30,000 miles or better if I am correct. I figure you could go at least 60,000 - 90,000 miles before you replace the rotors.
My suggestion is to use some 100-150 grit sand paper and remove the old material bedded into the rotor and change pads. If you have any vibration while braking then have the rotors resurfaced at an auto parts store. But remember this is only a quick fix and a front rotor change will be needed very soon. I say front because the front rotors do most of the work and are likely to warp way before the rear rotors.
