Great description - didn't know about having to re-surface the rotors. Thanks

If you are not replacing the rotors you should resurface them to prevent the brakes from squeaking while braking

You better mic the rotors,& check the runout before machining. They could to thin, which they usually are. Its far better & less expensive to just replace them. Use the Zimmerman coated rotors.
