Resurfacing brake rotors.... where?

Next week I'll be doing the RS > WRX front brake conversion on my car. The brakes I'm picking up tomorrow have 30K miles on them. Where should I take the rotors to get resurfaced? Thanxx.

You can have LIC do it. Quick turn around. Good price.

I would but thats too far, I really wish they were in the east bay somewhere. I'll probably have to go somewhere local like Napa.

Pretty much any parts house will be able to do it.

Hey, since you're in Fremont... two places will do it for you, and for cheap.

Gaurenteed Mufflers and Brakes on Fremont BLVD next to American High. Or The Parts Wherehouse right behind Carls Jr on Thornton Ave.

I suggest The Parts Warehouse behind Carls Jr. on Thornton as well, they resurfaced my crossdrilled rotors on my previous WRX for a good price and did a good job.

^ I now have the WRX brakes on my car. I went to the Parts Warehouse and they did $15 per rotor so $30 for what I had. Check my ongoing projects thread for pics. BTW I dropped off the rotors and picked them up an hour and a half later.

It was about $15 bucks a rotor a couple years ago. From what Stg2Lgcy said, seems the price may have gone up for the non crossdrilled ones. Mine weren't ready in an hour though. They were extremely busy when I dropped it off so I had to pick it up the next day.
