I havn't been able to find out the reason as to why I need to machine my hubs for c5 rotors. Can someone go into detail as to why I need this done? Thanks.

Re: c5 breakes soon, why machined hub?

Your stock rotors have an integral hub installed so that they are a rotor/hub assembly. C5 rotors are just that, rotors that fit onto a hub. Best way to make hubs for your F-body is to turn the friction surface off from a rotor so you can use the stock wheel bearings. I used a set of junkyard rotors to make my hubs, then installed new wheel bearings.
