Brake rotors! Guess the weight!

You would also have to spend time looking up the minimum thickness spec on a cut rotor. Lot's of fiddling around. With a new rotor and new pads ... everything is back to OEM spec in the most efficient way possible.

Turn n burn ! Bang em' in and bang em' out ! Make the most amount of money in the shortest amount of time these days.

This fella actually refinishes rotors in his shop and still scrapped these.
