Brake Rotors OEM, Brembo Blanks, Turn OEM, Leave alone

[silver2k2]

My "brake pads worn" light came on so I guess I need brakes

What do most people do

Replace Brake Rotors with OEM, with Brembo Blanks, Turn the OEM one, check per FSM for grooves and width then Leave alone.

I have ordered the runout tool and will be using OEM pads

Check the thickness of the OEM rotors, if theyre still 27mm or so (above 26) you could probably turn them this time.

Brembo blanks are nice OEM replacement. I have them on my car and theyve been turned once (just the fronts, the rears are untouched) and theyre warp free.. Before I had them turned they werent really warped but glazed, the shop that turned them said that they didnt take any rotor material off it was all glaze.

I have a set of brembo drilled/slotted rotors waiting to go on the car when these wear out, these have been on for about 16k miles (im guessing, I dont remember how many miels the Q had on it when I converted) and have certainly seen hell and back.. Brakes are something I love torture.

Quality brake parts are worth their extra price because they will no wear out as quickly and give annoying issues... I have tracked my Q and put about 5000 miles since the last turn nad they are still warp free, no vibrations whatsoever...

Ok Wes I will measure them, hopefully and can turn them this time.

I checked the records and the front where dont 4k miles ago, I checked the rears and they are pretty low, however the light went off when I started it on the way home.

I measured the rotor and its 8.66mm servicable is 8.0. I assume that this falls into the range that can be turned.

Ok so the fronts are golden... the rears should be fine too, they are 9mm factory so 8 2/3 is good enough. They probably wont have to take much stuff off to get them golden.

Do the pads come with shims, I looked at all the hard ware and it looks pretty new the boots are squishy I am not sure I need that hardware kit

Shim kit is extra and a good thing to have on hand.

Had my Brembo Stillen front rotors on for almost 40K and I am still waiting for some sign of lateral uneveness.
