Re: Rotor/Brake Pad Wear Opinions

I have tried to cut a lot of rotors with severe lateral-runout or what I call a warped rotor. Lateral runout is caused by over-tightened or unevenly tightened lug nuts. Extreme heat or rapid temperature variations also cause runout. Rotors with a lack of parallelism is a variation in the thickness when it is measured at several pleases around the circumference and is caused by soft spots and I see it every day . IMOP rotor refinishing is gay. I have wasted so much time checking & cutting rotors only to have to replace them anyway.
