Default mugen brake question

I picked up a shell a month ago and the car already had the mugen active gate brake set up on it...

I love the over all feel of the brake kit and seems to stop very well. The car had set for a while without moving and the rotors were a little rusted and now that I have the car running they seem to shake a little under a decent amount of braking.

just wanted to know if I could get these resurfaced or if there was something else I could buy that would replace the old ones...

thanks.

Read this, it will shed some light for you. there is nothing wrong with your rotors, they just need to be re-bedded.

I use this process whenever I change out pads, just used it 2 weeks ago when I installed new Rotors, SS Lines, Hawk HP+ pads and Motul.

and anyone that thinks they know more than Stop-tech please reply, I need a good laugh

As I replied, why dont you read the article I posted and re-bed your current rotors? The re-bed process will remove all of the rust and buildup off the rotora and should eliminate the shake you are feeling under braking.
seems like a waste or time and money to not do that first, since it takes all of ten minutes...
