Anyone have a machine shop that they would recommend?

Either Ala Moana Area or Windward side (Kaneohe).

I picked up a spare set of STI rotors from Oliver (mine are pretty hosed)...and need to get them turned and trued...

I attribute a lot of my squeeks to my rotors...(changed out the brake pad, lines, and fluid) but didn't do the rotors at the 30K mark...I know I should have...

Thanks in advance...

Any idea how much it costs to do this?

try Checkers....

 

^^^word. i've had rotors done there b4 with no worries.

 

or you could try ted's machine shop

 

isn't the STI known for the squeaks? anyway, like what Jon said Teds is also good...Jeff, Jon and I had our flywheel resurfaced there...im sure they do brake rotors as well...

 

yes the STI stock pad squeak and there isn't much you can do about it. i'll see if it's time to do my rotors as well

I have Hawk HPS pads on...

I'll check out Ted's....my cousin is suppose to get back to me about a machine shop in Waipahu that turns the rotors...

I'll post it up if I go there...

how do you know if you have to turn your rotors?

 

the infamous sti brake squeak while reversing... sigh...

 

my brakes squeak while reversing, that doesn't mean that i have to turn rotors though right?

 

yes you might even have a defected tranny....kidding kidding Dale....no it's pretty normal...it's still brand new(well almost)..

 

i don't understand the term "Turn Rotors". If you're referring to have them cut then that's a different story.

The STI factory pads SQUEAK due to them being more aggressive pads. this is Normal with any race pad. If you do change brake pads (with NEW BRAND NEW PADS) and want to start new then it is recommended to have them cut (at a machine shop like TED's) so that you can start on a new mating surface.

also make sure that you PROPERLY 'BED' YOUR BRAKE PADS when you change them.

hope this helps

Sears Alamoana cuts rotors and since I work there they do a good job at it.

 

huh? lol thought you were talking to me. how many Dales are there that frequent the HIIC forums?
