    Ive been told by a few respectable ppl that you can turn any slotted/drilled rotor on any brake lathe as long as its properly set up. Some shops will say you cant just so they dont take the super small chance of them messing their machine up.
    P.s. I got some drilled and slotted rotors i need turned too lol...

    This is true.

    I watched FOrged Performance turn a 16in Rotor on a 350z this past weekend when i was there for EFI School so it can be done. Now im not sure if they will do it for just anyone, but id check with them.

    IF the rotor has Cracks in it, it has to be replaced. If its just warped you can turn it.

    Id call TopSpeed because they have a LOT OF roadrace customers so im sure if they dont do it, they know someone who will.
