Feeling kind of ripped off ?

Not really that much left on the OP's original post. Pretty much came to the conclusion that he didn't get hurt all that much. I think the main reason he was feeling a bit ripped off is that he had hesitated to get the estimate on total cost due to a friend's involvement.

To me "ripped off" means they really got you good. I don't think the OP came out that badly. The views seem equally divided between a decent price, and a bit high.

Or we could just get back to topic from OP's post.

Try not to force your views on the rest of us. Don't like it? Don't read it.

Not many machine shops would even consider dealing with microns, nor 'CAN'
mill in microns

It will NOT be carbide/diamond/etc cutting edges...but photonic or ion milling...

Braking, as with most things, does NOT have a one size fits all

Thermal mass (both thermal and rotating inertia) is not critical to
the normal soccer mom out there, nor most but the higher end who
needs/wants that added thermal management metric

Flatness, concentrically, parallelism, surface finish, etc is both subjective
and actually needed

Back to the OP's....that is a normal mid range price and dependent on the
local labor rates, the overhead of that shop, the competency of the shop/mechanic/etc
and finally to the vehicle.

My 8.6K Sub has to have the hub removed and that is about a 4 hour job or more
if those four bolts are rusted on (typical)

Correct.

A micron is 1/1000 of a mm. So 500 microns would be .5 mm right?

I can also tell you that you are taking off more than microns! More like 1-3 mm total depending on how bad they are. Even a half a mm is more than .5 microns!
