I worked as a service advisor at an Acura dealership for several years and
we very rarely resurfaced rotors on Integras and every time we did we had
problems. I would just replace them.

Subject: Rotor change in SP?
I'm a relative newbie to autocross with only 3 events under my belt (but 3rd
and 2nd place finishes in CSP). My stock rotors are pretty much completely
munched after 2 years of aggressive driving. They pulse after heating up
and also fade badly when slowing from supra-legal speeds to the speed limit.
My plan was to replace all 4 with Powerslot slotted rotors in the stock
size. But I have been given conflicting answers by fellow autocrossers that
I know regarding the legality of this change. The rule book that I found
online (and that may be outdated) never said anything about rotors. I know
about the "if it doesn't say you can, you can't" rule that SCCA uses. I
just want to make sure that I haven't missed something. The car is a 95
Acura Integra GS-R that runs in CSP. Is machining the rotors going to do me
any good? I have heard that Honda rotors are too thin and that they will
just rewarp a short time later. Anyone with any experience/answers for
this???
Thanks in advance,
Sam Watts
