Cool Got Resurface? (need help regarding brakes!!!)

Aiite guys.. so Iam finally getting my Very first set of rims this coming monday (I can't wait) and I was wondering if any of you guys know where i can get a Disc brake resurface. (yep, I got the break before the rims ) does anyone have any suggestions?? except DRU Jk. Or should i just DIY where I get a blade and slowly resurface it myself?? (as what familyman suggested)

p.s. I live around Van Nuys/ Sherman Oaks btw.
J

Dont DIY resurfacing.
Just buy new rotors. Resurfacing is usually ~12-15 a rotor, and autozone sells the rotors for $13.

A break shop or machine shop should be able to do it for you. You need to let them know the limits of the rotors can handle so they dont take off too much and compromise the rotors, you should be able to get this info from AEM.

any brake shop can do it but i think some autozones can actually do them now too. that might be a little cheaper alternative. props on getting brakes before wheels. too many people dont realize how much stress you put on stock brakes going +3 or 4inches from stock. I always get a kick when i see a truck with 22s and stock brakes

Re: Got Resurface? (need help regarding brakes!!!)

Lol^ well mine is more of like LOOKS lol. but thats a good info, i never looked at it that way. but then they said your stopping distance decreases so thats the down side for big brake. I got this AEM brake with a exhaust so it was a good deal. then i got my RSR so i sold my evo. then i've been waiting for this rims for like 7-8months now and I can't put this AEM Big brake because it needs some clearance. Atleast 16 or 17/ bigger rim.
