Are these rear rotors fixable?

I am looking for opinions whether I can fix these rotors to make them look better or they are basically done?

They still have a lot of life left as I am not even close to minimum thickness required to be replaced, hence my question.


Pictures are for left and right rotors respectively

You need to measure the thickness in 8 spots around the rotor to verify if it’s warped and or within spec. The hub of the rotor will mention a minimum thickness.

*edit*
Hard braking as if you were bedding pads, if that doesn’t help nothing will.

You’ll never bed them properly unless you redline it in reverse 6 or 7 times and brake really hard because the weight transfers the wrong way

Run a set of race pads back there for a while.

This makes no sense. How much braking would you need to do to wear the rotors down? Then pads will always wear in the same pattern as the rotor surface because the rotor is a lot harder.

Maybe get them machined. If there's no vibration the only other potential issue is your rear pads will wear a little faster.
