Drive it round the corner braking several times, surface rust will be gone. If it is, great, if it isn't = bad!

If its shiney its not good(had to much heat in them or just old), rotors should be dull looking.
but these days the cost of rotors you can get a pair of DBA slots for $220-230. |

Pics ... would like to see the rotors up close ... if the rotors are that shiney you can nearly see your reflection in it ... it's not good ... and will have adverse affects when braking.
How is the car braking at the moment though ... you think it feels worse than usual ... or is it stopping fine now??
