My rear brake rotors seem to be slightly warped. I can hear them sqeaking as they brush against the pads when I'm going slow. Does any one know if it's okay to turn the rotors at a machine shop? Or, do I need to purchase new ones?

It would be unusual to warp the rears. Have you been tracking your car? I get that noise too but I think it has more to do with the mounting on a live axle than being warped.

It started doing it after I did some burnouts at the drag strip. In other cars, I've always feathered the brakes to keep the in the water box. I tried it on the Boss and it's been squeaking ever since. The squeak comes from the rear. I don't know what else it could be. Assuming they are warped, does any one know if it's ok to turn them at a machine shop?

Like he said you can turn the rotors as long as they arenot turned below specs. I would use a on car brake lathe for the best results
