    Warped Rotors

    Hi, Everytime that I am speeding and I press the brakes the car shakes, so probably my front rotors are warped. Do you know if the brake shope can resurface them or they will have to be replaced? What about drill rotors? do they make any difference? Thanks.

    as long as your rotors arent warped too bad a shop should be able to turn them for you and get the warp out.

    Cross drilled rotors arent really necessary. I'd just go with stock if i were you.

    for the price you pay to resurface them, you can buy brand new ones.

    Yeah you can resurface them if they aren't too bad. if the outside part of the rotor is thinner or vise versa i'd forget about it. try comparing the cost of new ones or maybe some Power Slot rotors, better than stock and great stopping power. Cross drilled crack easy under heavy braking.

    around here, they charge almost as much as the new ones. i would just pay a few extra dollars to have new rotors. but it is me.
