There's no joy in turning 740 rotors. They don't have enough meat on them as it is, and cutting them takes away metal badly needed to keep them cool.

FCP Groton has just about the best prices on new ones. If this has been an ongoing problem, plan on replacing the front strut rod bushings ("Cone bushings"). There are 4 needed, and they're not too expensive.

Also torque your wheels by hand, and evenly. Overtorque can warp even new rotors.
Good luck!
