Front Rotors Replace or Re-use? 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Jeff P on  Sun Feb 1 05:58 CST 2009 [RELATED]

That lip appears to be inherent in the design. That lip started to show up right after the first set of pads. I was concerned too. This second set of pads has made it very pronounced. I don't normally turn rotors unless they are warped or tapered. No reason to in my book. You may want to determine if it's better to replace than turn them.

Since the rotors are inexpensive, and I'm at 122K, I'm going to replace them. This time I'm going to ceramic pads and the drilled type rotor.

Prices on that "infamous" online auction site have been reasonable.
