rotor question

is it ok to get the stock brembo rotors "turned" or do they have to be a certain depth because of the size and performance of the brembos?

edit i meant rotors

you don't turn pads you can have the rotors turned, but I'd recommend against it as it just makes them warp faster b/c of the reduction of mass.

Just upgrade to StopTech/Centric rotors.

It's only like $230 for a pair of slotted fronts.

You can turn you rotors if you want. Look for the mininum width on the hub of the rotor, its stamped in, you'll need a mic to check them.
I'm not sure I suggest it, but you can do it.

I heard your ONLY suppose to resurface ur ROTORS ONLY if u need too... so example if u notice ur streering wheel shakes when braking on the highway then resurfacing ur rotors will probally help stop the shaking... if ur rotors look and feel right I would also suggest not it doing because it only makes them "weaker, thinnier , etc."
