BA Falcon, is machined rotors a waste of time? Cheap rotors? Thoughts?

[WhoKnows]

Hello, I have a 2004 BA Falcon and I was going to get my front rotors machined. But It seems it is cheaper to just get a new set like these https://www.onlineautoparts.com.au/products/ZPN-02303 Is it better to just get a new set or should I just machine the old set?

Up to u really. I enquired about getting brakes machined at some franchise 'auto masters '. I think, to damn expensive and it turned out to be cheaper to buy new set, pads n rotors. A few hours in an afternoon n job was done. So I guess cheaper to just get a new set if running just stock rotors.

Cheaper to buy NEW TRW Rotors than machine factory ones.

Just make sure you do the booster rod mod and grease the sliders when you fit the new Bendix GCT pads

Thanks, yeah I think I will just chuck a new set on and move on with my life haha.

Booster rod mod? Sorry I am a newbie when it comes to this stuff what is that?

It stops the shudder coming back from inconsistent wearing pads
