Default Are these rotors REPAIRABLE?

was gonna sell these w/ my LS400 calipers but after taking them off i notice these deep scratches and cracks. the outside of the rotor is fine, scratches and cracks only on the inside. only had these for about 1 month before i wrecked my car, would really hate to throw them away. btw please excuse the rust.

How the hell would that happen? Are these ebay rotors?

I've experienced them, never had any issues though, this is a first.

BTW what happened to your SC? It was so nice.

Yes eBay rotors. Car flipped and landed hard on its wheels.

they might be repairable but do to that it may affect the heating points when under stress and the rotor can explode.

I tend to not reuse parts that are designed to be thrown away at the end of their life cycle.

Now, I'm sure you could get these turned at a shop, but if there just eBay rotors, then you why not get another set? Or even a set on rockauto for like 25 bucks.. so I wouldnt be cheap. Since if they fail again you'll prolly wreck your car.. again.

If it were my sc, I would buy another set

i would say nay. Even if they cracks aren't deep and can be eliminated with resurfacing, i doubt you'll find a shop willing to resurface drilled and slotted rotors. Sell em as scrap

replacements are close to what it would cost to pay a non reputable shop to resurface those
