uggghhhh!! who turns drilled and slotted rotors?
tore my car all apart today to put front brakes on it. i get up to O'Rielly's and they can't turn my drilled and slotted rotors. so i had to buy some stock ones so i could get to work. anyone know who turns them?

I know this is not what you wanna hear, but just get some new ones. I had some on my car and had them turned at my local O'Reillys (Louetta and Steubner) and mine were slotted only. Waste of money as it turns out they were warped and had to buy new ones a couple of months later, plus turning them made em' look like crap as the slots got very very shallow. Stick with the stock one's you bought or get a set of cross drilled/slotted from ws6store.com (sponsor on here) and they are $189 for the whole setup and the quality is really good, just put these on mine to replace the warped ones.

They don't like to turn those for fear of breaking the bits on the lathe. This is why I will have some solid (not slotted, not cross-drilled) two-piece rotors for track use.

cool thanks for the input. mine are warped. that was the whole reason for the brake job. i guess i'll stick with these for now and get a new set of Strange when my turbo and new setup are finished.
