To Resurface or Not to Resurface my rotors...
My front rotors have been turned once, my rears havent ever been turned. All of my rotors are wearing normally, but they also have a little lip on the outer edge and am wondering if i should go ahead and have em resurfaced? and whats the best thing to use for anti-squeal? Ive heard Permatex has some type of high temp copper stuff people use, if so, anyone know what kind?

i turn rotors on a almost daily basis and the fronts will not be able to be turned again. the rears may be able to but i would just replace all four as they will last much longer than turned rotors.

You can't turn a rotor without knowing if it is within spec. Mic the rotor for thickness and check the run-out. I'm going to bet that if you've already resurfaced them once, you won't be able to resurface them again.

whats the minimum thickness on the front and the rear rotors so they can still be resurfaced? cause my rotors are still quite thick.
and where can i get a set of replacement rotors for a decent price? i already know what the dealer charges so thats a definent no go! Lol

They may not have been allowed to be resurfaced the first time. I'm not sure on the specs but the shop that was going to resurface mine said I had plenty of material left. Then I mentioned that they may have different specs from the lancer and the looked it up. Sure enough it does and there was no where near enough material to resurface even though I have never tracked my car.
I would just buy some new rotors.
I just bought some centric rotors from rockauto.com
Stoptech uses these rotors and CNC slots in them. Then sell them for over double the price of the cores. They are the exact same rotor.

The part numbers are very important. They made 2 versions and the part number which begins with 12146065 are the low quality ones. Make sure the box on the rotor you order has the 120.

Yes, I DO NOT turn rotors... I replace them for a reason.
