While in an ideal world, it would be nice to have the rotors perfectly in
balance, an ideal world isn't where the Healey is from, so...
...I wouldn't touch the rotors before first undertaking the following steps:
1) getting the wheels tight and as true as humanly possible,
2) mounting the tires and shaving them to roundness, if necessary,
3) balancing the wheels and tires off the car, then if necessary,
3) balancing the wheels and tires on the car (there are still shops that can
do this).
Only then would I consider mucking with the rotors, and then I would have it
done at a racing shop. Just one man's opinion.
