Who here would have rotors turned vs replacing them?
I personally would not do it, regardless of the reputation of the shop turning them.

Nope
BMW made them with a narrow tolerance with not much left for the machine shop to cut.

on the bmw, id just mic them and put pads on them. if its my mother's ford taurus, which eats rotors and makes the car shake like a mofo if you don't, i definitely do. ill be the lone dissenter and say, despite the fact that they are at least 10 $ less than the bmw, yeah, ill turn em.

I want to ressurect this thread. I have new front brake rotors, with no groovers or even a lip. However, when i spin them with the wheel off, they seem to grab on part of the rotor. So, with new pads and fresh and smooth rotors, would it be prudent to turn the rotors? My thrust arm bushings have been replaced as well. OH, and they shudder or pulse when stopping. The pulsing increases in frequency with vehicle speed upon brake application. If i pass a 40mph hay truck and then have to brake from high speed because a school zone is coming up, it is more of a vibration than pulsation.

Do your feel it in the wheel or the pedal?
Your rotors are warped or your pads are contaminated.
do not pass go.
go directly to a parts shop and pick up a new set.

I agree... the shop can't turn them cheap enough to warrant not buying new ones :| And those that do, you probably don't want them to do it!

get some cryogenically treated rotors, they are almost unwarpable, unless you really cant drive without the foot on the brake, and last at least twice as long as stock..... for twice the price of course!
