On my 95, In 1999 I had my stock Rotors turned... Not even a month later the Warp was the same as before... Bought a cheap set of rotors and got a few more months out of them as well... At the time we cleaned and adjusted the rear drums.... I went through the same crapp with another new set of cheapie rotors... Made one trip home and back and they were warped again.... Last year I chucked them for the $60 Ea Bendix Rotors and Bendix Titanium Pads... Its been well over 1 year with plenty of hard driving, and a couple of trips home and back, and the car still stops as smooth as the day I installed the rotors....
Pete, do your self a Favor and get the Bendix Rotors when you can... You pocket will thank you later...
And how much meat is left on the pads as you stand right now? Or are you down to metal?

Turning the rotors is about 5 bucks a piece at my O'reillys.
Rotor turning is something I think is reserved for people like me, that don't always give a lot of long term thought to our economic decisions, and would rather fix our warped or otherwise rotors for 10-20 bucks NOW, instead of paying 60 or more bucks NOW to get the same effect, albeit the effect lasts longer in the more expensive scenario...but we're just simple poor folk, and we don't think about that kind of stuff.
