Resurface Rotors?

[tag4car]

So in theory could i have my rotors resurfaced without changing the pads? It's not really in my budget right now to replace pads too.. It's just a slight amount or warpage on them that has me thinkin..

If they aren't a certain thickness, no shop can legally resurface them. Worse you can do is bring them somewhere to see if they will. Should be around $20 to do it.

sure if they are thick enough they were probably never cut you can also throw a cheap set of pads on.... I use the cheaper pads from autozone they dont eat up the rotars lifetime warranty they are a little dirty dont forget to open the bleeders before compressing the pistons !

i don't believe these have ever been turned, seem to be all oem stuff going on, i'm getting hawk pads when i change, i loved them on my gt

Yea, you can get them turned. And if they are warped a bit, it makes a HUGE difference. My dad just got the rotors turned on his E350 work van, and my mom's V-10 Excursion, for the second time. No problems at all.

Sure turn them, the shop will tell you if they are already too thin.

Be sure and paint the hats while they are off.

You don't need to open the bleeders..


Unless you are flushing the brake fluid leave the bleeders alone because when you open them you can get air in the system.
