Default I would replace 'em even if they had some more life. You have a nice set of pads, might as well make
full use of them.

Default I switched pads at around 25K and didn't touch the rotors...m..
I bedded the pads and have had no issues since. I upgraded to EBC greens. If you go to the trouble of taking the rotors off, I wouldn't bother turning them, I'd just replace them. Rotors are very inexpensive, especially non-drilled or grooved. You can get a nice set of Brembo replacement rotors I think for around $120-140 a pair.

although i must say, i'm quite impressed that you got 30K out of one set of front rotors - I got about 15K out of mine

Default Are you sure?
replacing the rotors is supposed to be a standard part of the 20K and 40K service
