I think you'd be better off just putting new pads on the existing rotors than turning them. Otherwise throw them out; they're "disposable" on the 240. Plus with the chinese cranking out car parts faster than Americans can put them in, the rotors are CHEAP. And they do last decently.

Pads? Volvo pads are nice. But there are others too.

If that's a 91 240SE there is a good chance of ABS brakes being under the hood. If so, you need to bleed the brake system. Actually, as you send the pistons back into the caliper, crack the bleeder on each front caliper. Then get someone to help you bleed some fresh fluid out of the calipers, after you mount the pads and put them back on. It's easy and keeps the ABS system happy for the next year or two. Or the next pad change.
