Machining rotors, cost?

[killuminati]

I checked my brake pads yesturday, and i definately need to change em, but i ran my finger over the rotors and they felt a little bumpy, how much would it cost to get em machined? Would it be very bad if i left it like that for now?

Also, are bendix pads worth getting? $100 for front and back

Machine rotors is usually around $60 per corner, worth doing if your getting vibration when braking

Possbly not worth doing... slotted rotors around about $180/pair for the front at least. I know what I'll be doing next brake change (mine need machining too).

There is no vibration, so that is good news then.
Yeh i was wanting to see how much it would be, coz if it was too much, i would just wack on sum slotted rotors, which is what i will do if i need to.
Would these be any good? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Commodore-Ke...064426097QQcategoryZ39382QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

dude you get what you pay for. most mechanics will stick bendix in coz they are cheap, but they are loud and low responsive. i got my rears machined and i got Lucas pads put on. Lucas are more expensive but you know the story with a commodores "they never pull up" well these pads did make a difference along with the machine. the only downside is brake dust. you see the europeans cars with a black front wheels and a silver rear wheels well mine is black at the rears and silver at the front

i recommend ferodo pads, i had them on my vp, gripped really well, never faded, and no noise, onli thing is u get really dirty wheels from the brake dust, but they work really well; before i had the ferodo's i had bendix ones and i just could not get them to lock up , but when i put the ferodo's on i could lock it up when i stamped hard on brakes and stopped alot qwicker, my next pads for vs will be ferodos, also i recommend dba kangaroo paw rotors, as they dont heat up to the point where they warp and fade out, much better than std commodore ones.

Thats what I was wondering! I thought the VS 1 calais had ABS and if so why are you trying to lock it up? Maybe it was in a diferent commy I don't know... but anyways, there's nothing wrong with Bendix pads. I've had them for years on the exec and now the calais. Don't forget Bendix have a few different versions... Not just general purpose.

wtf? shouldnt they be black at the front, because your front braked do 70-80% of the work??
