Minimum machine spec on the front rotors are 1.06" (27mm) and the rear rotors are .61" (15.60mm)
Mic the rotors when you get the car and if they are at or over .04" of those minimum spec, then cut them...
However, depending on how warped they are, you might be better off buying new ones. At work all the time I have rotors I measure and are in spec, but while attempting to cut them they just have too much warping to machine properly and still be in spec

I'm pretty sure they are warped. I'm getting nasty vibration under braking.
The dealer knocked 650 off for the brakes needing replaced so I'm good in that regard.
I think I'm just going to replace the fronts and leave/turn the rears. Then replace all pads and pull and re-grease the calipers. Whoever said they saw brembo rotors for $140 a PAIR, prove that to me with a link to buy lol. I will believe that when I see it

and HP, it's 120 for 2 stock GT brakes, but he has a mach, so he doesn't want to downgrade

oo the blanks are 140 - that is believable lol. I thought you meant a nice pair of brembo's..
Well seeing as the buyfordracing ones say 03/04 cobra replacements and don't specify that they are brembo's AND that latemodelresto is a couple hours from where I live, I'm going to get the brembo blanks from them and a cheap set of rear pads. Already got some decent front pads waiting. Thanks for the help guys
All the work I did to my last car was more or less for fun and to learn, in the end. Now I have a better platform to build on and a more rare car which makes me want to keep it around for a long time.

I'd honestly look into rebuilding the calipers, it shouldn't be too hard, you can do it in your garage.
Check the wear on the pads that are already in there. If they are wearing at the same rate (inside vs outside), then you're fine, but if one is wearing more than the other, you need to rebuild the caliper and grease the pistons really well.
If it were the rears, I'd just grease the sliding pins, and you'll be fine.
I doubt that the pads are dragging, but uneven wear shows that the pistons or pins aren't greased well enough, so the caliper isn't sliding the way it should
