is my rotor warped?

My front passenger side rotor seem to be warped. I can't tell. On the rotor there is this deep line that encircle the whole rotor. It seem like the brake pad just worn out and made that mark. So does this mean my rotor is warped? I think I have to get a new rotor and pad. The driver side rotor has a slight hint of the mark too, seem like it's just starting though. I don't have money right now to get Stillen rotors. So what would be the best way to go for me? Get them resurfaced? How much should that cost? Or get new factory rotors? I have an extra set of brake pads, no need to buy new pads. I just have to worry about the rotors.

I can't really comment on the mark you're talking about without seeing it, but your rotors shouldn't be warped because of it. Warped rotors will show up as a pulsing feeling through the brake pedal when they are applied or as a shudder in the front end as well.
