Need my rotors machined, anyone know a place?
i need place to machine my stock rotors (fronts), hoping to do it fairly cheap. I just need some prices of places in this area that will do a good job. damn honda wants 160$. I know shops will do em for 15$ each, but i dunno where these shops are

installation:
jack up car
support with jack stands
remove wheels
unbolt calipers from carriers
pull off caliper (hang them from upper control arm using string or a piece of hanger, dont let em dangle by the flex hose)
remove rotors (may require removing set screws)
replace with new ones
reassmble reverse of above
its super easy job!

those set screws can be a bitch if they dont budge, dont force them u will strip them then ur into drilling or screw removeal tools.. instead u need an impack screwdriver, you hit it with a hammer and it twists... or airtools

the set screws are on the middle of the rotor, phillips head screw to be exact. As for the bolts for the calipars, they are on the back side of the calipar
