rotors/calipers

When you replace the rotors/calipers, what do you do with the old ones? I have 4500miles on them, so would someone buy them used or do I just throw them away? Thanks Doug

I tossed mine.

Now mine had about 30K miles on them, but even so, who'd pay you for used rotors when they can buy 'em for $25 bucks brand new?

I'm gonna save mine for emergency replacement (read "when I need new rotors but don't have the change in my pocket")

You can usually find a buyer for the calipers. I'm interested in getting a spare set for a little experiment...

I kept my rotors, heavy baztards they are. But I might need a quick fix at somepoint and they only have 7,000 miles on 'em.

I have 15 old rotors in my garage. I keep them so I can corner weight cars by putting the weight of the driver ( in old rotors ) in the drivers seat. then I set up the suppenssion and corner balance / wieght the car

I've heard there are some metal recycling places that'll pay you for your old rotors. You probably won't get much, but I could've sworn I heard about a guy around here getting $20 for a used set of rotors. $20 can buy you a whole new rotor!

My original rotors had about 15K miles on them when I put the Baers on. I kept the old ones just in case I ever wanted to return the car to stock or in case I had problems with the Baers.
