until i changed my pads today. seems like its worn down that the grooves for the slots are almost flush with the rotor. Never really seen such a thing before, this is my first set of slotted rotors

Default generally, no. i guess that's the #1 reason to go plain-face?
i'll be getting slotted, though.

Default generally the slots are cut to the maximum wear depth.....
if the slots are gone the rotors are worn out.

Have slotted rotors turned (machined) when replacing pads? Rear or front? Does it matter?
