I recently machined my rotors by laughlin......................NO big difference in braking............Now I know why!!!
I guess you can take a sander and 'rough up' the surface as shown in the vid! |

Great find for real. I like how they explain the cause of the increased stopping distance. That is serious accident ting dey.
We need more stuff like dis.
