Front Rotor help.

Dear List,

I managed to bend my left front rotor. Don't ask . It isn't really bent a lot but I can feel it ever so slightly when I brake at low speeds. Do you think that I can bend it back? Does anyone have a used one to sell me? I have an 07 and I am in Los Angeles.

I would replace it personally. Here's a link off of my WI forum:

It's likely the carrier is bent.

A pretty routine job to sort out TBH. Someone with a dial gauge and a engineers table and a little experience would make short work of it.

I took a look at the rotor, not good. I don't WANT to get a new one but I will. I see that cyclehutt sells the OEM roters for $332.00 for the set. I have read about Gafer and CARROZZERIA and EBC. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Ken

I say fook OEM, go big or go home. Get a wave.

I am looking here currently. I don't really see a consensus on what people are buying. I am running 99% on the street, canyons. I am sure I will do 1 track day a year but not really more than that.

It seems like a LOT $$$

They are a lot of coin I think too. If you don't have the cash, go with the OEM's. I like the trick bits, so I'd roll with the waves. But its not like I'd notice the difference between the two, or maybe I would? Have only had OEM rotors on my bikes. I usually totally them out before I get the chance to burn out the stock rotors.

For me oem is more than enough.

If you get a good deal on something better go for it, but wouldn't good mental if you have never felt the need for more braking power

You can't bet these. They look great, are reasonably affordable, and provide incredible braking power.

if you are going to spend $500+ on rotors you should get braketech rotors.

I have a pair of stock rotors from a 2008 SDR. one of them is slightly warped but the other should be fine. I don't think they are directional so you can put on either side. you can have them for $75. you can pick up in west L.A. or in ventura county.
