Default F sport brake rotors

just to make sure, our rotors can be resurfaced right? Was at a brake shop today and the owner told me they usually replace them and don't resurface, said how it might break them or something

Usually it depends on the thickness of the rotor. If they are too thin, you can't turn them.

When they're resurfaced, they become thinner and more likely to warp again. Given the cheap rotors on the market these days, I just replace.

GSF rotors not being soo cheap I'm using my old ones with new pads for another 20k when it's time to change I'll do all at the same time.

I had mine resurfaced after I switched from the oem to ceramic pads. I had a lot of life on the rotors still. Just make sure they measure the thickness before attempting to do so.

Fyi, finding 2 piece aftermarket rotors is pretty difficult for our cars. Not that many companies make em. Most end up going with oem, which is definitely costly.
