stupid question about slotted rotors...

Anyone know if powerslot slotted rotors need to be turned? I'm sure they do, but can a regular machine turn them or how does that work? THanks.

I kinda wondered the same thing....can you turn slotted rotors? Personally, I don't see why not. I've watched the mechanic turn my stock rotors and it seems like the machine should be able to do the slotted ones too. But, I don't know for sure.

You can turn drilled rotors, but you can't turn slotted rotors

If they have glazing on them you can de-glaze them. IF they get warped or if they have surface damage they need to be replaced. This is why you don't see them on very many production performance cars.
