Default Low on funds. Front right rotor warped ? to Float or not to Float

06 RKC. I have read several threads to go with floating rotors now that I need to replace one of the front rotors. I'm low on funds so the cost of a pair of front floating rotors and lydall z-pads are a little spendy. I have read where there is a slight difference in braking performance with floating rotors and the improvement is seen with a different brake pad.

Recommendation's......
Buy one floating rotor (new brake pads) and wait for the other rotor to warp and replace then.
Buy a set of polished rotors ( new brake pads) and just ride.
Replace the one rotor and ride.

Also
Recommendation on reasonably priced floating rotors.

Thanks in advance

If you are tight on coin, you can pick up some cheap take offs on Ebay. I bought a pair of brand new still in the box rotors to convert my 99 to the new style 4 piston calipers for $40.00 and a pair of take off 06 calipers for $50. If you're patient, you can score some good deals. HTH

Yea, I've got a set (3) rotors off my Road King. I put floating on mine. PM me and I'll make you a good deal if you need them.
