Probably not as close as want but I have used Brake Pro in Parramatta with great success.

New discs are really cheap probably not worth the trouble getting them machined.

I replaced my stock rotors with DBA 4000 and am very happy. Cost $330 v's $180 for standards.

of course its worth having them machined- MX5's are not hard on brakes and its a very cheap operation- why throw out a quality rotor and buy a questionable cheap replacement- rotors are not all equal.Not worth the trouble- I drop a the rotors to my local ABS and pick them up in an hour or two or just wait if they have time to set them up. Same deal with drums. I have no idea why people think that spending $300 on rotors is a good deal. Almost all brake places will have the facility to machine the rotors and will do so provided these are not on bottom limit. PS standard rotors- last how long.
