View Full Version : Resurfacing Rotors
rennwerkes 04-23-2007, 03:10 PM Does anybody have any suggestions for a shop that does good work reasonably?
I know you're not supposed to resurface BMW rotors but I got a killer deal on some E36 Euro's floaters and I'm hoping that after the resurface they'll still exceed the recommended minimum thickness.
Thanks!

Iwantoneofthose 04-23-2007, 10:25 PM Back when I was at Redline I did all the resurfacing, and I think it was $15 each. Now I wouldn't recommend anyone going there...
I've never had a problem with Okuhara's on Queen street.

Just dropped off at Okuhara's.
Damn, that's a huge place but no one seems to be working there! What's up with that???

Geez, I hope they don't pull that one me.
The lady told me $20 per rotor!:lol

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm never in Hawaii Kai during operating hours!:(
rennwerkes 04-25-2007, 09:07 PM Just picked up my rotors. Looks like they did a good job.
Only sad thing is that they're closing shop. Retiring and doesn't seem like anyone wanted to take the business over. Too bad!:(
Blitzkrieg Bob 04-25-2007, 09:18 PM All the shops I used to go to when I was in High school are all gone now.
The area that's now Walmart & Sam's used to have a ton of shops that did everything from machining to plating.
The ones in Kakaako are going too as the land value has put them out.

The greatest sadness I feel about the Sam's Club/WalMart area are all the quality drinking establishments that were lost! I'm sure Beastie will agree with me on this one wholeheartedly!:D
Kinda sad, losing all the small family owned shops.

I know, I know, but mine are vibrating like crazy and this is a pair of Euro rotors that I got a deal on and I wasn't in the mood to pay over $200 for a new set.
Nope, lots of shitty tires but no name brand to be found.
