My tire/brake shop now has a cool machine that turns the rotors in the car. Stelvio Ti a good candidate for this if rotors need a touch up. Doing bang up business resurfacing expensive rotors, pop the pads and give them a quick clean-up or replace. Of course some rotors are too far gone and others due to construction or materials can’t be done but I just saw a late model big Merc getting the treatment. Leaving rotors on the car speeds up the job tremendously for the shop, and lowers the labor bill for customers. So the bill is basically labor and maybe pads.
FYI I am using OEM rotors and Porterfield R4S pads, no squealing, not too grabby, better than OEM performance, not tearing up rotors. It’s a good combo. I did see the “high end” heavy duty rotors and pads at Rock Auto a while back, am sure they would provide acceptable performance and might try that next time. The Stelvio 2.0 brakes are not exotic.
