Those pads should work like the genuine Porsche pads, Abe. I can't
see the rotors, so
I don't have an opinion. If they are really smooth and not glazed you
can possibly get
away without turning them, but it will take some aggressive
scotchbrite or a fine emery
cloth pad.
I would mike them and then turn them if it were mine, but you run the
risk of a poor job
making things worse instead of better. I have Porsche rotors on the
sedan and the two
piece rotors can't be turned so I am left to scuff the surface if the
pads are changed.
