Brake Rotor Surfacing?
I have about ~24K miles on my 370z Sports Touring and I tracked my car twice since I had it. On second par of tires, still have quite a bit of meat on the first pair of Nismo Brake pads.
I'm curious if I should take my rotors in for surfacing. I noticed it's actually warped (when I spun it around the wheel hub, I noticed it doesn't spin evenly, but I don't notice any vibration issues when I drove my car. I did some research online and there's kind of a mix feedback. People are saying it's enough drawback from taking away material that could help it cool. Also it'll reduce the life of the rotors by quite a bit. (which i don't really mind as much if the tradeoff is for a good cause). I'm going to track this car in July and I'm trying to prep it the best I can without replacing the rotors.
I intend to switch the Rotors out to Slotted/Cross drilled (possibly 2 piece one day)
Any advice? Should I do it? I already have the rotors off as I'm putting in a brake cooling duct kit.
Cheers.
