Nothing horrible. But it's stupid since turning rotors is usually $5. It will make the pedal pulsate and you pads wear faster. It may reduce braking a tiny bit. I'm not sure on the last one though.

If your rotors are warped, it will reduce braking force.

You can get them turned for $5 to $10 each, you can replace them for $32 each from Napa (that's what I paid anyway)
 






you think $46 OEM replacement brembo rotors from tire rack are a waste of money? I just replaced my front brakes with EBC slotted, vented, and dimpled rotors and new premium (autozone-premium) pads and it stops way better now. but my rear-right-outside pad is worn thru and eating the rotor....
