Actually...........the rotors are so thin anymore that there really isn't much material that can be taken off of them. Most are at, or under minimum thickness when the first set of pads wear through.....there is a phenomenon I call "Rotor Mange" that actually eats away the metal on the inside of a rotor. They can not be surfaced if that has occurred. It is almost as cheap, and a WHOLE lot safer, to replace them with new rotors as it is to have them machined down. Just my $.02 worth of free advice.miss_thenorth said:I'll second that info. If you hear the squeal, check the pads. If you wait too long then you will have rotor damage. If you have rotor damage, hopefully turning them will take care of it. If not, you will need to replace the rotors. This expense can totally be avoided if you listen to your car and keep an eye on the brake pads.xpc said:Just for others info there is a small wire whisker that once the pad wears thin rubs on the disc and make a squealing noise - time to change you pads girls and possibly have the discs turned too if you wait too long. Don't know much about the newer models but it is there on the older onesmiss_thenorth said:I thought brake pads squealed b/c there was a stone lodged in the pad.??
