Re: brembo rotor sale
So....rotors (and drums?) can be balanced? A guy who i worked with who also worked at midas told me rotors could not be balanced.

Re: brembo rotor sale
Maybe Midas can't/won't do it, but they certainly can. It's no different from any other rotating mass, weight can be added or removed to balance it.

Re: brembo rotor sale
Must have sold out.
I can't find them now. They do have Summit Racing brand "cross drilled" rotors for $40 each.

Re: brembo rotor sale
Isnt that the purpose of machining so they can be balanced out........??? Midas probably does that so you have to buy new rotors.

Re: brembo rotor sale
I would never take one of my vehicles to a brake shop unless something is really wrong and I could not fix it myself. Most are crooks. Maybe not all or even the one you use or work at but my cousin was passed over as manager because he couldnt pressure sell good enough . It was a large chain store in our area. He later went to work at a dealer then on to a private shop where he was super happy .

Re: brembo rotor sale
That sounds about right with these chain places these days.

Ever seen a weight on a drum? So much for advice from Midas...

Re: brembo rotor sale
Nope, machining is to re-new the contact surface where the pads touch the rotor.
