Rotora Slotted rotors
I replaced the OEM rotors at 21K miles with a set of Rotoras and OEM pads, the car now has 62K miles using the same pads. I am starting to feel some vibration again when braking. It is time for a rotor replacement, I think. Can these slotted rotors be turned?
Does anyone know how long a set of Rotora Rotors are warrantied for? Would power slot rotors be a good replacement? What would you guys recommened?

if you got a guy who knows what he's doing and he moves tightens those triangular cutters on the brake lathe very small amounts each time. i had a buddy back at the dealer i used to work at who did the rotors on is 240sx. they were drilled slotted. he went very slow and it took a LONG time but they turned out fine.

I think it's a bit too early for the rotors to warp.
Check the pads for remaining life and try cleaning the rotor surface by doing a series of emergency stops.
I'm sure there's a detailed how-to guide for brake runs here somewhere.
If that didn't help, then you can start looking into new rotors.

They look fine. Normal wear. Pads still have life left in them and the rotors appear shiny without rings on their surfaces.
What should I look for?
I agree that they don't have a lot of miles on them, but the steering wheel is begining to shudder under hard braking.

My daughters Accord has powerslot cross-drilled rotors and was having same symptoms. Did the re-bed trick and they are now good to go. Would suggest doing that before dropping any $$$.
