if theyre warped you will notice under hard braking, especially if you let go of the wheel 
if you cant feel it that way, its probly not worth it to swap them, unless youre a hardcore racer
you could always have them turned but you might as well buy new ones since im not sure how much turning would be.
mine are warped

1) look for visible grooves
2) look for a significant rust ridge thingy
3) use micrometer to measure the thickness in rotor in several different places (for warping)
4) just resurface them anyways and see what happens.. worst that will happen if ur rotors were fine is lose like .01" or somethin lol
