Hey everyone, it's me from Bolivia again. Question, can I resurface slotted brakes? I heard that you can't do that on cross drilled. Does it apply to slotted? Thanks for the help. By the way, we had a rally going on here, and there were 3 Evo VI racing. It was really fun. Wish I had one of those. Maybe I can swap in the engine...

Could you sent us a few picture??? Your ride or one of those EVO??? I can't help with your question but I wish you best.

A good machine shop should be able to turn and resurface them. You'll just lose a little of your slot depth. Look at it this way, you'd have to replace the whole rotor anyway, so why not try it?

Thanks for the help guys, don't know what I would do. People have no clue about cars here! I will post pictures of my car and the rally as soon as I scan them. Thanks again!

most places that resurface flywheels can resurface slotted and cross drilled rotors on the grinding machine. They just can't be resurfaced on a brake machine (basically a metal lathe) since it can ruin the machine AND/OR cause weak points in the rotor.
