I'm getting some pulsating when braking and I noticed I have about 22mm of rotor left on my front wheels....is that enough to refinish them or do they need to be replaced?

since the front rotors are such a PIA to get off, it would be cheaper to replace them, and not resurface them.

Agreed. Plus the quotes I've gotten to resurface them (both removed and while still installed) were over $100. A new pair from Honda is 80ish dollars if I remember correctly.Opal Metallic Green '92 LX 2dr manual, 181k miles, '94 prelude VTEC wheels for summer (steelies with snow tires for winter), Omni-power struts/springs, and other junk

you can resurface the rotors while they are still on the car.. at least we do it at my work. (trentvalleyhonda]
Its just a machine you attach to your hub. and it spins the rotors around while cutting them. you hav eto take off the caliper and. everything.
Call your local dealership see if they have one of these machines. its cheaperthen buying new... sometimes.

i just take mine off, only takes about 30 minutes, but i got it down hehe.
what i did was have 2 sets of rotors, if i resurface one set and have the other to ride on, when i need another set i just take one off and put the other one on and resurface the other one for next time. convienient.
if u take it off and take it to a shop to resurface they can tell you if its too thin and you just buy anotherh one.What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.
You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

Cross Drilled & Slotted Rotors?
I wanted to know if the Brembo Cross Drilled & Slotted rotors were resurfaceable? I have a pair on the front of my car and I think they need to be resurfaced. Is there a tool I can use to measure the thickness and tell if they need to be resurfaced or not? Sorry, I didn't mean the thread jack. My question was similar so I decided not to make a new thread with the same question.
