Oh, and while I agree with the general sentiment that pad deposits are often mistaken as "warping", real warping can happen (and it doesn't take a whole lot of real warping to make it impractical/unsafe to resurface on a lathe).

Oh, I wasn't following closely. If it was $130 for them to do the labor to take the rotors off the car *and* turn them, that's a little more reasonable. I was talking about taking them to a parts store with them already off the car.

Go ask the track guys for a set of ready to throw out aggressive track pads, bed them in and use it for a few days. Remove them and re-bed in the oem brakes, most of the vibration should go away. When you finally need rotors, get some blanks and cryo treat them, now that's a real budget mod that no one ever knows about.

oh the vibration is gone i had them turn the rotors now just saveing up for some same or better brakes trust me the current ones have saved me from being hit 3 or 4 times

did you purchase new upgraded rotors with upgraded pads or reuse the oem back?

Ok...

I'm still getting the brake issue (vibrating) after resurfacing the oem rotors at 1000km.

Still waiting from one of the members with stoptech rotors feedback, if it resolve the brakes problem.

i'm over 110,000kms, and still on the stock sport brakes, mostly hwy...

It's your pads depositing layers onto your rotor, you need to get new pads and bed them in properly and call it a day

Yes, i'm using project mu pad with oem rotors.

Still getting the same issue with the previous oem pad too.

After resurfacing the rotors and changing to new pads, no issue.

But after few thousands km, the problem returns.

Thinking of changing new rotors, either dba or stoptech.

Any comments

Yes, read up about brake mythology :)

Stop-tech themselves have a number of interesting articles Technical White Papers - especially read the one about Warping, but I'd avise reading them all.

Also: Centric Whitepaper on "Warped" discs

And some decent correlating info here: Technical

Bed them in right!
