I am pretty sure that I am not precise enough to be able to sand them down. I do have a set of slotted rotors that I used for a very short time, so I will prob take those down and get 'em cut

You don't have to be precise to sand the buildup off them. Just go at them with some rough grit paper until you get most of it off. Then throw the track pads back on and te rest will burn itself off with a few hard stops.

RD, what was it we used at the track to do your rears? Was that like a scotchbrite pad or something?

BlueRenesis82

i need to find a place to bed those pads again

I94 looks like a good place to me.

BlueRenesis82

not if you see how wisconsin people drive. I was thinking about doing it in a Menards parking lot that is a couple blocks away from my house, either that or an Ashley furniture. Quick recon lap to make sure there is no stuff on the ground then get to it

i say just get new ones, i mean how much can they cost right?

BlueRenesis82

well, $90 a pop plus shipping

And shipping 25lb rotors is not cheap. Are we talking OEMs for $90 or the aftermarkets?

BlueRenesis82

i couldnt find any aftermarket ones

I was under the impression OEMS were more expensive than that.

BlueRenesis82

It was just basic steel wool...I was skeptical, but it did the trick after a while.

BlueRenesis82

can you bring it tomorrow?

Red Devil

I borrowed it from some guys that had a GTO race car...so don't have any, I'll see if Kyle has some in his garage...

SouthFL

I've read 22mm min thickness for front rotors. Anyone know the minimum spec for the rear rotors?

RX8Maine

16mm for rears.

Wow, old thread.
