What first - alignment, or rotors?
I'm not sure which route I should go.
I have my new 2-piece 14" BBK StopTech rotor-outer rings with me. I know a bad alignment can cause warpage, and warped rotors can throw off an alignment (current are warped). Which should I get done first? I don't want a shop out here to do the rotors (switching the outer rings) the same time they do the alignment. I'd assume alignment first, brake lightly going home, then slap on the rotors, yes? Paranoid b'c these rotors are ridiculously expensive, and trying to prevent premature replacing again.
Thanks,
Chris

Re: What first - alignment, or rotors?
You are going to need a good alignment before you break/bed those things in- if you don't bed them properly you have wasted your money . You are going to need to be braking hard and repeatedly, so I'd say alignment first. IMO.
