Hi guys,
Went to the track the other day and left my race pads at home. So used the normal street pads. They got WAY too hot and the rotors are horribly glazed. Lots of brown pants moments when the pedal is down but nothing happens. It was suggested by a friend that i take the rotors off and use a cup brush(wire brush on an angle grinder) to remove it then use fine grades of sand paper to smooth it out and of course rub the pads on concrete. Wanting to know if anyone can comment on this method and/or propose a different one? Thanks, Reece |

Thanks, I'll have to measure mine now. Also still haven't gotten the time to try deglaze them but will report back when I have done so
