[Shotimes] Porterfield R4S Question

[Ron Porter]

I have had very good luck with rotor turning. I bought new rotors last week
as I like having a second set that I can have turned & ready to go when I do
new pads. Then I keep rotating rotors whenever pads are done.

I have found that getting rotors turned on my SHOs has not made them more
prone to warping. Now, my rotors don't have deep grooves in them, either,
which is why I've only been charged $5/rotor a few times for turning.

Okay, but you will still have old rotors that have imperfections in the
metal due to heating/cooling cycles, and with the original size rotors, that
has alway led to warping.  And I would go with new rotors if switching from
semi-metallic to carbon-metallic pads.
