When they can't transfer heat efficiently, it makes them more prone to pad material transfer. Most places that turn rotors, cut them down to the minimum and call it good. When I used to do them, I only took enough material off to true up the rotor. On most of the cars I've owned recently, I've replaced the rotors at the same time that I replace the pads. The price of rotors (for most domestic & imports) have come down to a price point that makes sense. Then again, I'm one of these strange individuals that start buying replacement parts (brakes, rotors, belts, tensioners, pulleys, etc) the day after I buy a car. I know I'm going to have to replace that stuff, why not buy it piece at a time... less out of the wallet in one chunk...

Can't speak to elsewhere but around here you haven't been able to get rotors turned in a hell of a long time. Used to be darn near every parts store would do it for like $15-20 while you wait. Not the case anymore. Plus the cost for (regular) rotors has gone down substantially. When you can buy a new rotor for $40 it's not worth it to try and squeak more life out of bad ones by turning them.

Try doing that with a hour drive to and from work and not being able to drive your Z.

Had my OEM tires replaced by Pilot Super Sports on Thursday afternoon. It began raining while still at the shop, so I didn't get to try them out at all. Then a bunch of sleet and icy roads showed up. At least I can tell the PSSs will hold air.
Maybe in a few days |
