I got my Brembo and non-Brembo rotors turned at PepBoys for $6 each if you take them in. They are simple to remove.

Remove the wheels. Remove the 2 bolts fastening the caliper to the hub/spindle (whatever it's called), slide rotor off the studs. Repeat in reverse order to install rotors. The front bolts are 22mm and I think the rear bolts are 19mm.

update: check 1 of my rotors yesterday and it was definitely out of spec. taking them to get turned today and we'll see how long that lasts. our stock rotors are pretty thick so i dont see a problem getting them back in spec. i figure if they go out again, then ill go ahead and do a full upgrade.

I should get my new Hawk pads and Racing Brake drilled/slotted rotors Friday and have them on Saturday. You should be able to check them out on the 25th if you are still having issues...
