Hi Steve,
I've used turned down rotors in the past and have not had any issues once I
started having them rebalanced after machining.
The machining process removes the original balancing cuts which are on the
outer edge.
If you know of the OEM 300mm rotor that does not require machining I am sure
everyone here would appriciate that piece of info.
Thank you
Martin

They may have changed their policy since, but the main reason I worked with
Brandon to come up with an alternate kit was that 034 refused to sell me
just the rotors since I hadn't purchased the kit from them. Also, the ones
Apikol sells start out as 300mm from the factory, so they don't need to be
turned down, which was my other issue with 034's offering- I heard several
reports of significant warping.
Bottom line, I'd strongly recommend getting them from Apikol- I think it's a
better product.
