Changing Brake Pads Back/Forth?

I would be more inclined to turn or replace them if the two piece racing brake front rotors weren't $1000 a pair lol. They look brand new after two seasons,

Can you even machine the slotted/open-slot rotors? I'll on probably wait until these rotors are visibly worn before getting new discs for them.

You can turn rotors that are slotted/drilled. Just don't take a big bit for each pass. You can get chatter marks if you do.

My Racing Brake rotors have 6 trackdays on them. Still look great. I'm ready to change out the YellowStuff pads for something else now.
