So turning the rotors is basically grinding them down to remove any groves, right?

Thanks,

The stock brakes on the VX are pretty big and do a great job stopping the vehicle, so if you are looking to do the job right without spending more than you have to, I'd stick with stock rotors and pads.

Also, I'm pretty sure the stock pads are semi-metallic. If you switch to a ceramic pad, you should definitely turn or replace your rotors. You should at least have them turned, even if you replace stock pads with stock replacements if you want to do the job right. It's not expensive to have them turned at a shop, it just takes a little extra time and planning to remove them, drop them off, pick them up, and slap them back on. Most rotors can be turned at least once before needing to be replaced.
