Default San Diego- brake resurfacing help

I need some help finding a place to resurface my brakes, I know there are a lot of places that will resurface BUT mine are drill/slotted rotors, most places that i've called they wont touch them. if anyone can recommend a place that will resurface drilled/slotted rotors, and how much its going to cost that would be Great.


or if anyone is selling some good condition front rotors for a 1st/2nd Gen GS (same arent they?) lemme know.

slotted and esp drilled rotors are not meant to be resurfaced. it's a high probability of catastrophic brake failure. best you can do is inspect them and hope they are not warped or cracked. just run new pads and get some blanks next time, unless you're using those brakes for racing. good luck!

Most Shops like me do not turn them for the simple fact that they damage the blades that cut the rotors and will simply sell you new rotors to save us a headache. Roll out to a pick a part find a good rotor with a lot of "meat" on it and turn those and pop on new brakes
