Notice all the nice mandantory proceedures to achieve 0.001" maximum runout vs the old spec of 0.0028". ITB04-026a 8/16/04

Doubt any of this is done at any aftermarket shop, probably not at dealers either as the allowable times are too constraining

On car lathe to mis cut the rotor to match [cancel out] the bent [out of perfectly true/bearings hub.......rust films can be greater than 0.001" which gets multiplied by distnce from hub to rotor edge.

A precison [perfect] rotor runout correction can add an hour each to a brake job.

Wonder if Infiniti noticed that the 300C SRT8 has the 14" 4 piston Brembos in front and the 12" 4 piston Brembos in back?

Time for Infiniti to quit using old pie pans for rotors on their heavier vehicles.
