Default anyone know where i can get some brake rotors redrilled in L.A./orange county cali

i know some people advise against this but i'm willing to try instead of
paying $500 for some rotors to ship from japan.


i have the 96 type r 4x114.3 suspension and need/want after market
brake rotors.

plan is to buy brembo's for an integra and get them re-drilled.

thanks

I can get them drilled or slotted or dimpled or drilled/slotted.
Can also get them zinc plated in black or gold or clear.

just make sure that if you do drill, you dont drill nto any of the rotor's vanes. and that the face of the hole is chamfered to help relieve stress points that would otherwise be found in a straight drilled hole.

i'm sure you know this, but drilling reduces the rotors 'heatsink' ability and when you remove mass from the rotor, you increase the rate of cooldown/expansion of the metal. the more rapidly the metal expands and cools the more likely it will warp because of the heat (or inability to deal with heat).
