Howdy all,
So I’m planning on doing brakes all the way around on my ‘17 Highlander in a week or so. It has about 65,000 miles on it and the rotors have plenty of thickness left and are in great condition. My plan was to take them to an auto shop down the street from me that will resurface them for $10 each on a bench brake-lathe; however, I just got a “Black Friday/Cyber Monday” type deal where I can get all four of a new OE set (Advics ultra-premium high carbon) for about $232 ($58 each). What would you guys do? I don’t live in a rust-prone area, but I just want to minimize any issues with vibrations/pulsations/noise. The Toyota dealer here told me they can resurface 2-3 times with an on-car lathe without issue because these OE rotors are built so well.
