Does anyone have a good used front rotor they'd be willing to part with? I'm looking for the late style, and it needs to have enough meat to resurface it. Thanks in advance!

A lot of times it's cheaper and easier to buy a rotor at flaps than pay for shipping and resurfacing.

The wear tolerance is only 1mm. I think new ones are about $65. Paying $15 to resurface a used rotor with little life life left does not make much sense.

I may have one. Yours for the cost of shipping if it’s good. I’ll mic it tomorrow. .373” sticks in my mind as min. I’ll have to look it up. Unless you run your pads to metal or really heat up your 914 brakes the rotors should last a long time

That would be awesome! The rotors say .374" minimum. O'Reilly's and AutoZone don't seem to carry them, and NAPA wants $100 each. Even online, they're still $85 + shipping. I'm just trying my best to get back on the road before the driving season ends. If it's good, PM me, and I'll get you the details. Thanks!

It mic'd it at .395. That doesn't give you much to turn off. I'd go with that $58 one new from Rock Auto.

Hahaha! I would, if it were actually in stock! Thanks for checking, anyway.

amazon has 1 sometimes.

It took me months to find someone that actually had new german rotors in stock, back in march...

it was carid.com that had most of my list first and probably half was drop shipped.

pmb might have them now too.
