Sam,
Thanks for the input. Whenever I have to get my drums/rotors turned I go to
a machine shop locally that does them for $6 per item.....$14 per rotor is
what I bet the brake shops charge, and that's crazy. I will probably just
clean the rotors up and lightly go over them with some fine grit paper.
Thanks again,
Kyle
