Can anyone confirm the quality of these rotors?

I know they're still very dirty. I soaked them in pb blast for about a week. Maybe wd-40 works better? Any other techniques?

pic #2 looks a bit iffy...(that small notch on the side edge)
You may need to use an oversize RA stock seal.They come with a File you can clean up your groove a bit on the rotor before install.

I have used a scotchbrite wheel on my drill to clean rotors and it cleans them up nicely without damaging them.

on your second picture, first post there looks to be a good nick about half an inch down past the corner seal hole

Other then that, they look pretty good, get them cleaned up completely first, and then measure everything, then show us pictures

Two buckets or a utility sink. Gloves and glasses. Spray with EASY-OFF oven cleaner. Let sit, scrub with nylon scrub pad. Use old hard seals to clean grooves. Rinse in hot water, repeat as necessary. When you have them clean and well rinsed THEN spray liberally with WD-40 while waiting to reassemble.
No pony but a Red Ryder BB gun would be nice.
