Slot OEM rotors in SF bay area?

Do you know who can slot OEM rotors? I am looking for someone to do mine at a reasonable cost.

Does anyone know if the 88 T2 brake system (calipers, rotors, pads) will fit a 1990 non-ABS vert? I need to make sure before I start my project. I had purchased a whole new set at a very good deal.

Thanks!

do not do anything to the stock rotors. they will crack and brake on you. buy sloted ones. even bought drilled ones will crack. oem ones are fine for almost anything anyways. sloted/drilled rotors don't help braking.

Thanks....I have heard the opposite on slotting rotors. Have you, yourself tested this method?

Thanks for the confirmation on the fit.

i would never recommend someone slot or drill their oem brakes. New or used. Thats just not smart. Brakes is not something you want to screw around with.

If you want to have slotted or cross drilled rotors, it must be done before the rotor has been hardened.

Doing after (as you are suggesting) is just asking for the rotor to shatter or develop cracks.
