    Is it possible to have a stock rear rotor waved? or do you have to buy some ASB or Trojan shiz? I gota new rear rotor coming is and was thinking of having the local water jet spot wave it for me. If its possible where could I get a wave pattern?

    you could cut yours at a local shop but I wouldn't recommend it.

    many times rotors that are cut instead of engineered have a tendency to warp like crazy

    I could get into the material characteristics as well as the dynamics of heat dissipation and thermal expansion but it would probably put you to sleep and I would probably say it wrong anyway


    but if its just going to set on a shelf anyway why not have some fun with it?
    just be careful and watch for cracking and warping.

    There wouldn't be any thermal "issues" involved with cutting with a Waterjet. You should be golden if they're experienced at it.

    Edit: And I'm sure the software they use to cut normally can generate waves/arcs easily. Let us know what they say.

    the thermal issues are while in use not during cutting
