Before we leave Broome I want to fit the 'Yellowstuff' EBC pads I bought before leaving home to replace the 'Greenstuff '6000 series I fitted together with then new RDA Dimpled & Slotted Rotors. That combination of Pads & rotors, whilst expensive has been worth every cent & I/m now hoping that the Yellowstuff pads will be a further improvement.

EBC recommend that discs be machined anytime new pads are fitted & I'm happy to go along with this.

I'm aware that rotors can be machined whilst still on the car or having been removed. Apart from the extra cost of taking discs off is there any advantage/disadvantage to one way or the other? Which is best & why?

I'm not sure whether Broome will offer the choice but it would be good to know before I go looking. I've had it suggested that it may be just as cheap to get new rotors, but with freight costs I suspect I'd be looking at $350 + & doubt machining would cost that much.
