Ok man I will hit you up if I need help, I just got back from Turner Falls last night. Man I havent been there since I was 18, but man that water is COLD. 102 degree weather, but the water was 40.
haha believe it or not ive never been there. but water falls are generally known for that
Actually you can have slotted/drilled rotors resurfaced. I already resurfaced my 12" AEM rotors because they warped a little on me and they are both slotted and drilled.
There are alot of idiots out there you just have to find the right shop that is able and willing to resurface them.
It might take a little longer than regular rotors because you cant go in deep with the cutting edge. You have to go over them more times than a regular rotor at finer increments.

LOL

don't be jealous, because you live in the boring version of Texas.
All the shops around here told me they couldn't do it, I also dident want to experiment with expensive rotors.
I know I got the same answers.The thing is you cant go to like mineke or big shops like that cause theyre dicks and dont know what they're doing anyway.
I found smaller shops that were willing to do it (usually Puerto Rican guys shops, us P.R.'s will do anything) , but I found the best place to take em which was an actual machine shop. These guys will x-drill and slot your stock rotors plus when I asked them about mine they said no prob. you know what they only charged me 20 dollars to do all 4 of my AEM rotors.
Resurfacing xdrilled and slotted rotors is no different then regular rotors. like I said though you cant jam the cutting edge into the rotor or it will brake the blade and sratch the rotor in the process.
Try machiine shops. If you find one with a brake rotor lathe your in business

I will have to look around in case I decide to get some drilled and slotted rotors. Thanks for the advise.
no problem buddy. help is out there you just hve to find it. one good place to go is places where they specialize in v8's they always know someone who can fabricate or machine stuff.
boring version of texas with easy to navigate roads
Ok I got the hubs back today (new bearings, ball joins, wheel studs), I will be installing everything next week. I got some ARP extended wheel studs.

I got them at Nopi, one set was $17.69 and the other was $12.87. It cost a bit to get them pressed in, but I know it will be worth it in the long run.
Lookin good, I'm hoping to find a good bodied accord so I can dive head first into rebuilding the suspension over winter... Just picked up my ST bars today

G/L I hope you find one, I feel like this car is taking forever to get it the way I want it. It will be worth it once I have finished. BTW were did you end up getting the Sway bars at?
^^^ Got them through a local guy jdmwest.ca pretty much gave them to me for cost cuz my ground controls took so long to get here.

I could definately get another set, but seeing as you are in Cali, you could probably get them cheaper at some of those online sites, but being in canada, customs charges and stuff suck

Those nuts on the studs, are you going to take them off? Or will they act as spacers with your extended wheel studs?
