disc rotors?

So i noticed my breaks are so bad right now. My rotors have a slight gap on the ends from the wear. So i can feel how much it has been worn down. Can these be cut? or evened out? or should i just go for new rotors? I dont wan to spend a lot so whats a good ok priced brand?

I just changed my rotors / pads at 32k. I don't think Porsche recommends resurfacing.

Correct me if I am wrong, I believe you cannot resurface cross drilled rotors. The OEM rotors are relatively cheap compared to some aftermarket ones; especially if you get them from Suncoast or Sunset Import. Just go with OEM. You cannot go wrong with them.

I don't think I'd go "cheap" on brakes.

Difficult to diagnose the condition of your brakes on a forum. Get 'em checked out before you start replacing stuff. The lip you're feeling is common and not by itself an indication of anything but norm disc wear.
