I have a set of DBA front slotted rotors and after driving here cross country im getting the old warped rotor shudder again, just looking for a shop that'll do rotor resurfacing, can be anywhere in the BA, preferabbly somewhere on the east bay.

Sorry, best I can figure, you can resurface slotted rotors. If you've had them for a while then they are probably too close to min thickness anyways. if they are fairly new, I'd try a more agressive pad, like an Axxis Ultimate.

What is so good about them vs centric?

DBA has the camel toe design, I mean Kangaroo paw. Ray had the centrics, his hawk pads chewed them up pretty good. We put on the DBAs, he loves 'em

I have been loving my centric rotors with Hawk HPS pads. I really started getting on them since I started autocrossing. I don't feel any warping like I did with my stock rotors after 10K miles.
I am looking at upgrading to 4pots next.

how bout any place that does brakes, there has to be at least 20 in your town.

It's about metal compound. You have rotors that are made in china, and won't handle a race pad, mine will. simple as that. For a street setup/autox, it'll work perfectly fine (Hawk HPS are super mild pads BTW) and you won't have any issues.

For me though, I want to stop on a dime, every time, and be able to modulate and trail brake/left foot brake, and get my brakes unbelieveable hot. and still work, stop after stop.

oh jesus, not only tire compounds matter, but metal compounds? hehehe

I'll hit you up when I need to get new rotors.

Kangaroo, camel, metal compounds, blah blah blah - how about some actual info?

I have never had a problem with my BRADI, Brembo or any other Porterfield sourced cryo-treated rotors and Porterfield R4-S pads. Although my RS will be on stock Suby WRX rotors here soon, maybe I will see issues. It also depends on the car - with the Z06 I have seen R4's eat a set of rotors on a track day.

BTW - I have never heard of a shop turning blingy rotors (holes, slots, any other combo of uselessness). Also turning rotors is not usually a good idea because you take material away.

Ive had a couple shops scared to, but Ive never had a problem getting a set turned, unlesss they were 2-piece, and yes you could argue that removing any mass from a rotor will make it that much less of a heat sink, but we're talking .010-.020, which in most cases is about 1-2% of its mass,

suprisingly the cheapest place I found was Pepboys. $8/rotor

those are the biggest pieces of crap ever.

they aren't made in china.
they don't get chewed up quicker than a steak left to the dogs.
they actually had some R&D put into them.
they...etc...etc....etc.



centric are knock of chinese metal rotors. Their is a reason they are so cheap. Be better off with a high quality strait replacement rotor. But I guess they're alright for a rear rotor.
