Buying new front Rotors for the GS and am down to these two options:

SP Performance Slotted or Rotora Blanks ... determining if there's a shop around that will turn slotted rotors will be the deciding factor.

 

yes, turning rotors i don't think is that complicated and lots of shops should be able to do this. i gots mine turned last year by some tire shop a few miles from my place in annapolis, but it was like $100 i think. just call around and ask them if they have a break lathe or can turn rotors.

i went through a lot of different kinds of rotors on my old 99 gs400 and by far, let me repeat, by far the best were these brembo blanks (vented) oem ones for like 55$ for both of them and were freakin awesome. i picked up some hawk pads for $100 and had some freakin amazing stopping power all for $155. i never had to turn or replace the oem blank brembo ones once i put them on. i recommend this option if this sounds right to you.

 

i thought your not supposed to turn slotted/crossdrilled rotors???

 

don't mean to jack your thread....I need to pick up some rotors too.. Where, what brand and why you like them? any input is much appreciated..

 

grab them from jay at statik performance.. ask him what it was that i got.. im not sure but it was a great deal, look nice, and work pretty well... ill be shooting for nyc the weekend of the 20th.. dim sum then bro?

 

yep the slots will mess the cutting bit up! and even if they did try the rotor will be worse then before! just buy a new one they arnt expensive.
