Where to have rotors turned

[altiain]

Well, Axxis Ultimates are a great street/autox brake pad, but they don't hold up so well to track use. I fried a set of front pads at MSR last weekend, and they left a very uneven layer of deposits on the front rotors. I tried sanding them down in the garage last night, but I think I'd be better off if I had them properly machined.

Anyone got a recommendation on where I can have rotors turned in Plano/Richardson/Garland? On the car or off the car, I don't really have a preference.

Most parts stores turn rotors.

Sadly, most Autozones no longer turn rotors... but I've had good luck at O'Reilly's

+1 for O'Reilly's. They charge $10 each.

Thanks guys. Just called the local store and they have a guy who can turn them this weekend.

I've used them as well, I think you have to bring them in off the car and they will measure them to make sure they have enough thickness before they do it.

Aren't brand new rotors like $15-20 at Napa? I'd probably just get new ones.

Not for the '99-05 sport brakes. More like $100+

[Jeff_nc]

Well... in that case, get them turned.

I think he's talking about RX-8 brakes, not NB miata.

Brembo fronts on the NB $34 each. Toss them out with the pads. Hawk blues do a number on them. I think the Napa ones are cheaper. Might be the next set. Any interest in my old rotors you can have them for free. I usually change them after 2 sets of pads.

Your dinky little rotors won't fit my car.
