[Shotimes] Brake-Tru resurfacer?

[Bruce Malachuk]

I was just about to say something about the sandpaper aspect.

I love having a friend who turns my rotors down anytime I ask. Can't go
wrong when something if free. Then again you can go wrong with the $10 I
spent on my 96+ front rotors either, turned them, and they have more plenty
of meat left on them.

Plus $19.95 for a set of those tru-crap things is more than you might pay to
have rotors turned for real. Real turning will give you completely fresh
metal, and can remove warpage. I doubt thier sandpaper like stuff can really
do that.
