When you turn the rotors is that really all you are doing? if my rotors are warped slightly will the other side of the rotor surface be warped as well?

 

I say if you're gonna spend the money to turn them, replace them.

 

I dont have the money to replace them and it would cost me 0$ to turn them my self. Just about 5mins a tire tool, c-clamp and small wrench for the calipers.

 

No...turning the rotor refers to machining the rotor surface to make it flat. However when you turn warped rotors, the surface may be flat but the rotors are prone to warp again. Best bet it to just replace the rotor.

 

thanks for the help does anyone else agree?

i agree with Eva01
i woud buy new rotors , just bought new rear power slot rotors for my rear 140 for slotted and drilled , and then i payed 40 for EBC green pads , im getting them put on tommarrow . . . .

 

now i am a believer thanks for the help

 

What...are you doubting me? Just kidding guy. Actually my friend had a similar situation. He had warped his rotors and got them turned instead of replaced. Never did fix his problem because the rotors just rewarped on him. I have finally convinced him to replace his rotors because I said I would do it for him for free!

I agree as well. Resurfacing the rotors will just make them thinner and therefore prone to warping again in another x amount of miles. May as well buy new rotors for cheap from Autozone, or Brembos from ^^^.

 

yup i agree wit the whole bunch.. cuz i replaced my rotors wit some brembo "blanks" last month and i have no more issues wit the steering wheel shakin at braking or any of the other symptoms of warped rotors. Seriously from nopionline.com its a great deal and fairly easy to replace on ur own.

As for "turning" the rotors... yea they are correct in tellin you that it means the resurfacing/machining of the rotor surface to make it flat again.. but it does make the rotor thinner which will make it more prone to warping again.
