just today I think it might be better if I change it earlier than later. At higher speed (100~130km/hr) with long distance brake, I can feel the car pulling to the left and I do have to adjust the steering input (maybe ~5 degree) to keep on a straight line.

I would not want to be in a situation where I had to do emergency braking and still need to think about whether the car will behave.
I had a set of turned rotors I got for a stupid low price with the objective of burning through them at the track. They were completely unsafe and forced me to countersteer hard left one time when I was only 70% on the brakes to avoid an unplanned lane change into another vehicle. These rotors would have put me in the weeds at the track. Never again a turned rotor on my car.

I can definitely imaging this happening if I take the current rotors on to a track event. If I am having this issue under moderate braking forces, I probably will be running off the corner under hard braking on a track.

But first, I need to start preparing for snow tire and rim. Weather forecast in Canada is there might be a chance of snow in October. I am hoping my old WRX winter rim will fit.
