While taking wheels off to get new tires put on to hopefully be able to get it to a restoration shop, wanted to get some experienced eyes on my rotor situation. Are these any good?

Short easy answer - yes buy new rotors.
Hard to tell from photo but if there is any grooving (looks like it to me), you will want new rotors. Potentially can be turned on brake lathe if they aren't at minimum thickness. Two problems with that: 1) Cost to turn them may be very close to cost to replace them. Depends on your local economics. 2) As rotors get turned, they get thinner, and therefore more prone to developing brake disc thickness variation, and/or warping in the future depending on your driving style and the type of pads that are used. If you're broke and just trying to get by, drive them some and see how much they clean up on their own. Light rust in and of itself is not a problem. It will clean off after some driving. |
