I doubt you can cut them because it can break the cutter (Or so I've heard). I'm suprized they are warpped since I've done some pretty hard stops at 60 and the car was my daily car for a few weeks, and they are still perfect. Oh well good luck.

I've had mine for about the same amount of miles with no problems, including dozens of track runs.
I did follow the Baer rotor/pad break in procedure.

You can't cut them, but you may have a machine shop grind them (which is really the correct way to do rotors and flywheels). I think they can be ground, but you'll have to verify that with a machine shop first.

I guess I still like my Brembo OEM's......

You can recut them, but you must make sure the countersinks are still large enough for each hole.

If not you'll need to re-countersink all of them.

Or else cracks could develop.

But the problem is you cut the rotor & take mass away from it.

It will become easier for it to warp again.

Stupid question,did you evenly torque your wheels?

Those seem to be the most warp/crack resistant rotors available.

And I "Beat 'em Stupid!" with the pads I'm running. And, autocrossing causes you to park the car with the brakes rather hot (not the best thing to do) and they hold up great. I can't kill 'em.

My Brembo OEM's that were great when I first installed them are warping just like the stock ones. Yes, the wheels were properly torqued.

I am really happy to see a new sponsor stand behind their product and get back to me to resolve the situation
