theres a machine shop here in Selma (near fresno) that does it for 12/each. my friend has a 240sx and takes his there. no problems after reinstall. it only took the guy an hour to turn them

im doing mine next week, i also have the DBA 4000 front rotors

OK to machine DBA slotted rotors

Hi there everyone,

You might like to have a look at this earlier thread on machining DBA rotors https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-problems-fixes-117/resurfacing-slotted-rotors-750109/

Looks like it worked out for some of the guys and might be useful here. If there's plenty of thickness left, its cost effective to do.

Regards

I'm gonna try to do my drilled and slotted brembos on an old lathe that was given to my school. Noticed a slight vibrtion as I was decelerating from 120 today. The car also jerks to the right when I hit the brakes at high speeds (one caliper clamping harder than the other?) I'll let you know how it turns out..

lol i forgot about that thread

i first had mine done by the local and they were fine for like a week, so i gave him a call and he is re-doing them for free.

im not sure if its a thickness problem, but my friend has gone there 2 times with ebay rotors with good results.

i need to check my rears and make sure they're fine..might be my problem

yea i bought the best rears I could find and still they warped slightly. nothing significant but the fact they are out of shape at all shows how undersized they truly are. acura fucked up large
