Cross Drilled Rotor skimming
Does anyone know a good source for brake rotor skimming in the North East?
I had a new set of cross drilled zimmermans warp after just 500 miles.

Mark,
Do you in fact know that they are warped, or is it possible you have brake pad deposits on them? Pagids, and in particular their Orange pads, can deposit pad material, making you swear the rotor warped. If you want to read an interesting article on this topic, you can read it here.
Don't know if you're using Pagids or not, but on new rotors and new pads, I've found it's important to break them in per the manufacturer's recommendations, ie, heating them up gradually then letting them cool completely.
