Default Turning rotors??

Never gave this much thought till my rotors started showing signs of warping by vibrations felt when I applied the brake. Anyway my question is can you get slotted/drilled rotors turned???

Yes....as long as the 'holes' are "Dimpled"....[Chamferred is the proper word I think....have had mine done fine.]

I believe they are, the holes is what I was worried about. I guess if you dont have to go to deep, the slots will be ok. Thanks.

Checked out the holes, they are "dimpled". So when I get some time, I'll see which one is the culprit and turned it will be. Also, I have read somewhere that Baer offers a "limited lifetime warranty" against warpage. I suppose that it will be like the pulling teeth to get them to do anything, b/c I doubt I can find the receipt, lol.

You'll need to get them both turned. If not it'll probably pull.

Well, I cant believe it, but I found the reciepts for the rotors. I bought them back in Dec '06. So they are within Baer's 3 year warranty. I have sent an inquiry to them and I am waiting on their reply. Hopefully it will be a smooth deal.
