I recently bought a pair of rotors from R1Concepts, and one of them shipped with a couple dings on the rear surface. This was NOT shipping damage, as the box had no holes or indents in it. This definitely came from the manufacturer.

I called them up, and they said that they'd replace the rotor, but they wouldn't be able to get it to me until maybe the 28th or 29th (i.e. 11-12 days from now).


My question is: should I replace the rotor and wait ANOTHER couple weeks, or would you just install it as is? It took the original rotors 10 days to get here (western PA), so that would be a grand total of almost a month without my car, thanks to R1.


Needless to say, I will never be ordering from them again.

Make sure they dont protrude above the surface of the rotor. If so flatten it up with a file and run it. It's a non-issue.

I second that recommendation. Also, the pad doesn't really cover that portion of the rotors where the dings are. I see no issues with running those.

I, too, would just throw them on my car and not even think twice.

While I agree I'd rather not have dings in something I paid for...

What makes you think those small dings will cause any more problems than the large slots? Throw 'em on and drive it.

the loss of material from the ding will throw the rotor out of balance

You must be used to corvettes not F bodies.
