Opinions? Rotor bearings seem unusable, housing?

Alright, I've attached some pictures of my rotors.... pretty much solid copper on the front one, rear has a lot, but it isn't solid. My thought is, replaced.

The front housing, I noticed an area where the sides appear to have lost metal....
If this can be sanded a little, is it usable? Or, should it be replaced? The grooves aren't really deep.

those bearings are done, i would measure all the other grooves on the rotor to make sure its reusable.

i would toss those rotor housings for the chatter marks before i'd toss em for the peeling

Thanks J9fd3s!

I think I'll look for some T2 housings.

Maybe see if I can score some S5 rotors also. hahha.

Yeah those are junk. You can always get the rotor bearings replaced or find new to you rotors with decent bearings.

you can change the bearing, but i'd measure the grooves first, to make sure that the rotor isn't bad in some other way.
