does anyone know of anyone in the melbourne area who reslots rotors?

I have vs hsv calipers with the 328mm rda slotted rotors and i had some reasonably hard pads in them, which has prematurely worn the rotors (1500kms) to the point that the slots have started to disappear. they are machinable but this will take the slots out and make them into quiet expensive non slotted rotors.. so yeh anyone who knows anyone i would be much appreciative.

Chances are the rotors will be undersize if the slots have disappeared and thus should be relegated to the scrap metal man.

no they aren't undersized, the slots were quiet shallow to begin with.
the rotors have been machined and the slots are just visible but not enough to for-fill the purpose of the slots in the rotor

Do you really need them slotted???, how much racing do you do?. If the answer is zero then dont worry about them.

i dont do racing, but i do do a fair amount of heavy braking, and the slots are there for a purpose and id like them to keep it. and as i said not slotting them makes them F*@kn expensive standard rotors...

What do they measure? (thickness)
