Lookatmyrust Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 i got a rock stuck in my new breaks and was wonding what i should do. i was thinking that i should had the surface turned again.. but now becasue of what the rock did to the rotor the rotor heats up unevenly and warps i think. at certain speeds the rotor will start to warp. these frozen treated rotors and im wondering if they may be done or if i can have the surfaces redone. if i can have the rotors remachined and lose about 1/32 of the rotor face i should do that to both sides. or even both rotors. and get new pads right?

Max Capacity Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Wow lot of info there. Yes you can have the rotors turned should cast about $30 for both. I just picked mine up the other day. As for the cryo treatment, IMO not worth it unless your tracking the car. Even then... Unless the pads are real bad just sand them flat and put them/it back in. You should have both turned so they are equal. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

Lookatmyrust Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 thank you so much.. i was hoping that would be be the answer. saved me lots of money. otherwise, before the rock got in their these were solid rotors and i could not warp them on the street. though i sure you guy could on the track. get both turned and get the pads flat. got it.

STIBungy Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Doesnt surprise me. The slots would destroy their bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Depends on their machine equipment. Max just had slotted rotors turned. It takes much longer to do slotted rotors (because you have to remove material much more slowly). You can take slotted rotors to a machine shop to get evened out. They can clamp them on a mill-table and take them down that way.

Lookatmyrust Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 ok thanks. its getting a little better though.. they only wrap when hot so they must be heating up unevenly.... so meaning they are still good just not heating up right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xhengmanx Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 yea sucks that slotted rotors cant be turned but it damages the machine that cuts the rotors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookatmyrust Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 when they are made in the factory i bet the slots go on after the trueing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
