I have not been able to find a decent set of new rotors for the price of machining.

I refuse to buy part store rotors for my car anyway.. They'll warp after a few hard stops and most of the time they need a light cut straight out of the box

i really dont think guy knew what he was talking about, .001 is nothing....

but why would you spend $200 on pads?

cutting of .001 would be almost impossible and if they were talking about .001 on each side of the rotor thats retarded and would damage the cutting bit.

there hawk full ceramic front and rear pads, and yeah they redneck at o'reilys pissed me off so bad....i called the same store in the next town and they said that it was no problem and to bring them on in but it was 3pm on a sunday afternoon, i was already at my dads house with all the brakes off so i would have to put it all back together drive 25+ miles, tear my brakes back down in the parts store parking lot then put them back together and drive back home. so i said the hell with it and went back to my dads and sanded the rotors with 80 grit and havent had a bit of trouble out of them since.
