If not then bite the bullet and get new rotors/pads. A pitted rotor never brakes as well as a non rusted one (obviously). And jjkamikaze, I'm not sure what youre talking about... overtightening the lugs DOES NOT warp your rotors.
acctually on certian cars it can. it is a common problem on mr2's. and it did happen on mine so im 100% sure overtightening your lugs can warp your rotors.
