do i need to get new rotors + pads? or can i just resurface rotors + new pads?
06 gt, 60k miles, dealer said my rear breaks need to be replaced. and i agree because i can hear a faint squeal from them when i brake. But with only 60k miles, do I need to get new rotors and pads? or can i just buy new pads and have the rotors resurfaced? what about "turning the rotors"? is that basically where they just flip the rotor?
do i have to get new rotors? or can i just have them resurfaced or turned? this is my first time doing anything with the brakes on this car.

"turning the rotors" means that they run them through a lathe type machine to resurface them back to a flat surface. Depending upon wear they may not have enough metal to be turned.
Given the price differential, it may be more cost effective to just replace them though.
