i have power slot or stop whatever
sllotted rotors with aem or nissin pads in the front and stock in the back

when i brake lightley there is a lot of vibration in the sterring wheel

i think the rotors a warped already

where can i get them resurfaced if i can resurface them

I'd rather not deal with already warped rotors. Avoid future headaches down the line and get brand new rotors.

you can't resurface slotted rotors? what about normal rotors?

i know u can machine normal rotors..

Normal rotars can be turned but if they are warped don't bother turning them as they are prone to rewarp.

what is "turned" ?

my integra and my old accord both had shaky steering. when I asked the shop to resurface the rotors, the problem went away. I thought that's a sign of warped rotor?

"Turned" implies the rotor being resurfaced. It is described "turned" because a lathe is used, and the rotor is 'turned' or rotated at a cirtain rpm and resurfaced using a cutting tool. If you dont' know what a lathe is then visit your local high school machine shop.

You can turn slotted / drilled rotors. Porsche rotors are slotted /drilled and dealers or shops turn them all the time.

What happens is that, most shops do not have a vairiable speed lathe, or can adjust the height and angle of their bit used to turn the rotor.

If the shop just slaps the rotor on there, and turns them at the rate a normal blank is turned at. It will ruin the rotor and mess up the lathe.

You have to go to a very high quality shop or a machine shop to get them turned.

YES THEY CAN BE RESURFACED!!! I had to do some digging to find this out, but check this out! http://www.procutusa.com/index.aspx then go to http://www.procutusa.com/zipfind.aspx and enter your zip code to find a local dealer/shop that carries these brake lathes!

I used to get my crossed drilled rotors turned, if shop tells you they can't it means they don't know how

resurface depends on how much life your rotor has and how wrap they are, they they are too thin or wrapped too bad, most shop wont resurface it for you, if they do and rotor is too thin,they most likely will wrap again in near future, just go buy a set of brembo blanks, they are great rotors and very good on price $80-$100 shipped for 2 i believe

Warped may not necessarily be the problem. Shaky steering could be caused by rotor finish.

Anywho, don't jump to conclusion just yet. Dial indicate your rotors and hubs. Check for any stacked tolerances that could possibly be corrected with face matching. If you see uneven wear mic your rotors in 8 different places to see if its the rotor or pad, alternatively you can check the friction surfaces of the pads and check if you have parallism or uneven wear. If rotor is at fault, then it cannot be resurfaced(slotted rotors). Next time buy regular non slotted rotors, just switch out the slotted and non slotted when you wanna show off your ride like at a meeting etc, or down in the track. Also don't use aggressive pads. Use ceramic if you are not racing, use only semi-mets or Mets when you know you are going to be doing heavy braking, like at a race. Also break in your pads everytime. You can do this using the 30/30 method.

And guys, watch out when you get your rotors resurfaced/cut. Ask them to Mic your rotors everytime to see if they are still within spec. The inside rotor hat should have the min rotor thicknessed marked. When rotors get too thin it creates a sinking brake pedal feel. Plus as they get thinner they get hotter quicker which increases the odds of lateral runout or "warped" as you mistakenly call it. Finally when you do get your rotors cut, make sure they get a non directional finish, this will prevent piston knock back, prevent rotors from getting dished, increase friction surface area, and prevent heat spots from forming.

Before you put them on, clean them and remove any oil residues. You can clean them with regular dish soap and water. You want to remove all possible left over metal shavings and debris from the resurface, so that the pads can break/brake in properly.
