Depends on the application.. Performance, I'd replace them.. But for DD use, I'd go the cheapest route.


DD as well as track days on occasion.

Rotors, on a street car, generally won't matter.

Pad choice is always the more important variable. Get suitable pads for your conditions/driving style, and the rotors won't matter.

So I say OEM replacement. Spend any extra coin on high quality pads suited for you.


already have good pads, says so in original post.

what kind of vehicle? 400 dollars to turn rotors and install brake pads that you supply sounds kind of high to me


2011 WRX.
i agree, thats why i didn't have them do it.

If you've got a jack, and a socket set you can do them yourself and save alot of the cost. You should be able to do all four corners in under an hour assuming the bolts aren't seized.


if i get new rotors the work will be done in my garage.
if i get them resurfaced, ill use a shop. i don't have a lathe to use.

Many auto parts stores will turn rotors for you. You just need to call around.
