    [QUOTE=bruce95fmla]you should just do it right the 1st time and change the rotors instead of taking the shortcut and cutting them...
    The cost of labour and stuff that you have to pay to have the rotors installed is well worth paying the 40 dollars and having the comfort and peace of mind of knowing you have a quality product.

    "thankfully there is no cost for labor here. I can install my own rotars, that's easy... so it's just the 40 plus tax. So I'll keep that in mind tomorrow when I'm at autozone and so forth...."

    You may be able to use the pads again, but that depends on your current driving habits and mileage on the pads. I know pads usually conform to the disc that they are on, but maybe it won't matter.

    "yeah I think I'll just pick up the pair to be on the safe side, rather than change the rotars and then next weekend go back and exchange the pads thinking maybe that's the problem. it doesn't cost me anything for the pads because of the lifetime gurantee so i'm not going to take two steps here."

    Thanks appreicate the insight.

      Niether, I'm married to a Marine... well for the present time.. ex husband once they give me my papers
      But on that note I'm also going to Navy boot camp September 6th. But then again.. I'm currently on hold with my package for the Officer side and some program where I'll just goto school and get paid as an e3 (with all the AD benefits) until I'm completed then goto OCS and do 4 plus years etc... Which I plan to make 20 out of it either way but we'll see....

        The rotors are so inexpensive and easy to install for our cars, it's just not worth it to turn them. You might get one good turn out of them, then they get too thin. I changed the rotors and pads a few months ago, it only took me a couple hours, if I don't count the "persuasion" I had to accomplish on the rears. They were stuck to the hubs with rust. It seems they had never been changed before, even at 138k miles! A little wire brushing, some brake grease, and they'll be easy to change next time.
