Where to get rotors cut? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Hey guys I need my rotors cut and I was wondering if anyone knew of any good shops that could cut them for me.

SmokeyBandit · 12-18-2007, 01:24 AM

are you sure there is enough material for the rotor to be cut?

These days, Subie rotors are disposable, because they are thin. The difference between a new rotor and a worn rotor is only 2-3mm total.

I'm not really sure to be honest. I was just going to do this as a temp. fix until I buy new rotors, pads, and lines.

i had mine cut back in june before i switched pads, i can put you in contact with the guy in coatesville who did the work

I am just wondering if it would just be better to buy new rotors instead of getting them cut. Do you remember how much it was to get them cut?

CHAOS · 12-18-2007, 09:35 AM

lol it was like $600 cheaper than new rotors ... i dont remember an exact price but i know new rotors (the ones i wanted at least) were like $800 a pair.

scutzi128 · 12-18-2007, 09:39 AM

Damn the ones I was looking at were around 400 a pair.

CHAOS · 12-18-2007, 09:40 AM

which ones?

scutzi128 · 12-18-2007, 09:45 AM

Probably DBA 4000 blank if possible.

CHAOS · 12-18-2007, 10:08 AM

http://www.racingbrake.com/SUBARU_WRX_STI_s/304.htm : Slotted rotors would be about $320 plus shipping for a pair of front rotors.

I took the cheap way out and bought a set of rotors off ebay. These should hold me over until I upgrade the brakes.
