Thats how much it cost to reduce the gt4 rotors to size. Not to mention the cost of the rotor itself. How much did u pay...
And that add the fact i have to pay for gas to 2 trips to nashville... Lol. Nobody here does this...

What do you need to do exactly? Reduce thickness?

Diameter Reducing diameter would be a CNC job, unless your machinist feels like making a complicated, one-shot set of soft jaws to mount the rotor on a lathe, since you can't reliably mount a brake disc on a 3 or 4 jaw chuck. However, the problem with the CNC job comes with properly setting up the part in the working volume and indicating the part itself so the machine has a proper zero - that's a bitch and a half for relatively flat, circular parts. A set of custom soft jaws would still have to be made for the CNC, but less complicated than the lathe's soft jaws. We charge $50/hr of labor at my shop, so I could see why it'd be $50 per rotor - it's mostly setup time. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
