Im gonna take that as the rotors were manufactured poorly, right? You
dont machine new rotors. (Give them a good cleaning is abouty all.)

Id take the so called "NEW rotors" back where you bought them and DEMAND
they replace them with functional rotors. You obviously didnt get what
you paid for, so go get your moneys worth, or a refund.
