#2 Replace them, you have floating front rotors? That makes the challenge even more to have them machined on a lathe

is he talking front or rears?

If they have the correct adaptor and are willing to do it sure

We had a VBG on the car lathe that was computer controlled, it worked great and fast

The obvious thing is how bad there are worn or cut ... if there's the minimum thickness left after cutting ... your good.

Remember to check the run out before and after

Just because the rotors look to have cleaned up good, you should always verify run out

It can come back to rear its ugly head in a few miles

I guess my thinking was that as they are basically Car rotors, and at that mileage they would most likely be fine - and if slightly pitted from road grime - Would be easy to turn. But probably not it seems. Off to order parts!

Thanks guys - jc

If you are talking rear rotors that are not grooved badly, match mark them, remove then and cross hatch them with some sand paper

Wash them off with soapy water and rinse them good

Do not use brake cleaner, this can transfer to the pads
