Will brake rotors off '97 4cyl fit onto a '96 V6 magna?
I have had them machined 4 times now, sick of them warping, family car with no heavy braking. I know I should have replaced with aftermarket but this a cheap option as a mate is wrecking the '97.

4 cylinder rotors are smaller than the V6 rotors.

Ive heard that overtightening wheel nuts can warp/bend the rotors, usually because dealers way overtighten them with an air ratchet. Means get a flat tyre and you will have a hard time taking it off. Get a torque wrench, and check the torque, though its probably too late now

i had this problem with my last magna. it was only thr front left that did it. the original rotors were screwed from the previous owner so i got new ones. the front left kept warping real bad. the drivers side not so bad. ended up getting another set of rotors and it didn't do it again.
