    Ideally I wouldnt go over once... and i would only resurface it if i see the rotors are still thick (meaning it needs resurfacing only because it has some slight abrasions).

    Make sure it's not warped either. It may be better to get a replacement rotor then to resurface the old OEM ones.

    bro. subukan mo bandang San Juan. P250 lang. yun kasi madalas ang ginagawa nila. yung ibang shop sa kanila din nagpapagawa. eto yung address:
    Tonton's Machine Shop. N. Domingo St. San Juan. malapit pagliko ng Pinaglabanan. maayos gawa nila. Hanapin mo si Nards. hope this helps.

    Tanong ko lang yung brake rotor ba na sinasabi mo ay yung mismong Disc na ini-ipit ng dalawang caliper pads? Kung yun, puede matanong kung mag-warp uli ang brake rotor pagkatapos ng resurface, kung malipis pa sa specs.?

    yep, may minimum thickness na nakaspecify, kung pwede ipa re-face? depende sa condition ng disc. kung may malalim na grooves baka masyado na makapal aalisin para maging smooth ulit, also, better check the break pads. baka may problema na pads kaya uneven kain nya??
