Sorry for not searching but I need a answer ASAP. Is it okay to cut the rear rotors if you have Brembos? The rotors already look a little thin so I wasn't sure.

Long story short is I'm an idiot and somehow put a brake pad on backwards a couple of days ago and the shim ate into the rotor.

Yes its OK , but if it was metal to metal for a couple days, the rotor is probably toast.

Well we cut down the rotor anyway and if it warps I'll just have to replace it. I just can't figure out how I made such a dumb mistake.
