A lot of people are recommending for you to not resurface the rotors. Not trying to start an argument here, but why not? I wont claim to know it all, I am just saying that his brakes lasted 35k miles, that's better than a lot. So its fair to say, in my opinion, that he will most likely get good life out of them even if he resurfaces them. That and it will be even harder for him, or a tech, to properly bed the pads in. That means hes going to be driving around on a soft pedal for a long time.
My rotors only lasted me till my first brake job. If he was replacing pads after say 10k miles I would totally agree, but those rotors most likely have some pretty good grooves in them, plus he is riding on the feelers, so there bound to have small scoring in them. My opinion, and that's all it is, is that its worth it for him to resurface them. As stated if you have warped/pulsating rotors don't even bother turning them, just replace them, but if not then your in good shape. You can definitely make it a week, if the noise from the feelers gets worse, that just means your grinding more material from your rotors and if you do plan on not turning them, will want to get it in sooner. While your at it and doing the brakes, it would be a good idea for you to flush your brake lines and get some clean fluid to the calipers.

If they're scored then I agree I probably would re-surface them. However, if they aren't scored or anything and aren't warped, then you'll get longer life by not machining them. However, I think your probably right and for a daily driver he should still expect some good life from the rotors even if he does. It's really more a preference thing in the end I suppose.

Thanks again for all your responses. Tomorrow is the day. Still no sounds coming from the breaks, just the usual light squeal that is very well known among st us Camaro owners... Have had that since I got the car.
I did the fingernail test and did feel a few rough patches, but nothing too concerning, not nearly enough the replace the rotors. I have quite a bit of rotors left, more than half to be honest... So I think I might just get them re-surfaced since I barely drive this car and don't want to go to the shop again in case the brakes don't feel right. |
