Slight warpage on both my new rear rotors. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) From an old thread I found (that I can't again find now) the conclusion was that new rotors do not need to be turned. However, I notice that after installing the new rear rotors there is slight warpage on both of them. I estimate the warpage to be roughly .004".
Is this a big deal? Should I just run them and hope it isn't noticable when braking? I'm getting ready to bleed the brakes after installing PMB calilpers, new pads, rotors and lines, but I don't want to waste time trying to perfect the feel of the brakes if I'm just going to have to remove the rotors and get them turned anyway. |
