Default Brake question

How can i tell if i need new rotors? My brakes don't pulsate or anything, but with 33,000 miles on it i dont know if i need new ones or not. What are the clear signs that they need to be replaced?

Your rotors will need to be replaced after they have been "turned"( or shaving a thin layer off to re-surface the rotor) leaving less and less metal. Probably can be turned twice, if the mechanic knows what he is doing. If you have no pulsation or grinding, you may just need pads and "turning". But hey you buy those drilled slotted rotors if you want to.
