Seems to be a topic of debate whether you can or not. I just bought some new rotors because my slotted brembo's were warped. So i'm just curious now, if i could have just had them turned for $25 instead of dropping $300 on new rotors and if there is a downside or not to turning slotted rotors.

Some shops will some won't. It can destroy their bit on the machine. Call around and ask.

Personally I would have them flat ground. Same as when you have a flywheel resurfaced.

dammit, the local O'reilly's will do slotted rotors. i could have got away with spending only $30 instead of $300. That sucks. Hopefully the shop still has my old rotors and i can have a backup set or sell them.

The local Car Quest auto parts store will do it over here. They use the flywheel method and they charge quite a bit more for it too. Its normally like 7-8 bux a rotor but for sloted they charge like 25ea.
