question about Drilled Slotted rotors

I bought some drilled slotted brembo blanks and i think i'm starting to feel it pulsate when i brake.. I was wondering if they can be cut by mechanics since they are slotted and drilled?

nope.. warp a rotor like that and consider it a paperweight.

you MIGHT find a shop that will do it, but good luck. it's worth a try, but have a new set of rotors ready in case they break them on the lathe. (and be ready to buy them a new lathe when the disc breaks and rips the arm off the lathe)

I see the boys in our shop do interprupted cuts all the time. You just can't hog off large amounts, .005" a pass. Get a machinest, not some guy behind the counter at the parts store that has been turning for a year or so. "and be ready to buy them a new lathe when the disc breaks and rips the arm off the lathe" If this happens to you then you went to the wrong shop. The lathe operator would have to be a bleeding idiot.

beat it to fit, paint it to match... that how we do airplanes.
