Q on xdrilled / slotted rotors
can xdrilled / slotted rotors be cut or machined (turned) if they needed to?
does anyone know fo sure? or it depends on its make?
has anyone tried that before and hows the result?
if not possible, so how can i go about maintaining my xdrilled/slotted rotors then?
ive had them for almost 3.5 years and they are still performing excellent but was just wondering if the time comes to maintain them what do i do?
ive serviced them regulary though.
tahnx.

Re: Q on xdrilled / slotted rotors (ek44)
Im not here to debate on this. Just to add.
I have turned a set of slotted and cross-drilled rotors before. The technician doing the lathe work said that they are ok as long as there is some chamfering left on the holes. But once the chamfering is gone the rotors should be replaced.
If you search you may be able to find a few other posts asking about this and you will see similar answers.
Like I said im not going to debate this. search

I know there is more on here. Just dig
as far as flipping them it goes like this. Manufactures specifications, or the way the veins inside the rotor face. If the rotor has straight veins and the manufacture does not specify whatever makes you happy. look at the jgtc cars most of them the slots are "leading" and brembo states that they should be "trailing".

im not saying its not possible.. im not tryign to argue but its a known fact.. if you trying to cut the rotor its not good being the fact that they are already weaker then they already area
and 2 as for flipping them... they are only suppose to turn one way or else it loses its function
