ANY machine shop should be able to do it. I can certainly get it done by a few places if you need to… Vipers use 14"ers. ---

Napa told me they could grind down the rotors on my Rover with no problem and they’re 14". I didn’t have them do it though, I bought new ones so i don’t have i don’t have proof of execution. ---

I didn’t have them do it though, I bought new ones so i don’t have i don’t have proof of execution. i would think most places that do trucks can do them, since most truck rotors are that big. however, most places may balk at the fact that they are drillled/slotted, even though it doesnt make a diff ---

then get some balls and tell them it doesn’t matter. If they insist, then let them know that you won’t hold them responsible if it fails. Believe it or not, you can be pretty persuasive when others are unsure. ---

> [@Viper966](#): > > yea, i know…just wanted to find somebody that has been used before with D/S rotors how much does napa charge anyways? I worked at an independant napa and it was 15 for a car and 20 for a truck. I would assume a corporate store would have similar pricing.
