Rick-n-Columbus Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I have a set of 6-piston Wilwoods with 13.1" rotors on my Marauder. I've developed a bad pulsation from them, which tells me they need to be cut. I've had this once before and they were cut once to solve the problem. Can anyone recommend a good brake shop (or speed shop) that has an on-car lathe for cutting these types of rotors, that also has experience with aftermarket brakes like these? Thanks!

Clifford Automotive Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Rick just because its a wilwood rotor doesnt mean a "regular" tire or brake shop can "turn" them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 can you pull them off the car yourself? i can do them during lunch one day if you want to do that. or we can run them throught the shop and do it. they don't need to be on car, i'm not one of those on car bandwagon people and they never pusate when i do the bench lathe.

Rick-n-Columbus Posted August 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Unfortunately, these are VERY difficult to remove and get back on. That's why I'm looking for an on-car lathe, so the job can be done while the rotors are still on the car. Most shops where I'm from didn't have this nor would touch the brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Removed Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 best thing to do is remove them and turn them. that way you clean the rotor hats and the hub. to make sure everything is true! noq since they have been cut before, what makes you think there is enought left to cut them again. gets the specs from wilwood , then mic them to see if there is enough left to turn . turn them to thin and they will warp even worse they first good heat cycle they get.
