When using sandpaper or garnet paper to smooth out rotors that have transfer material on them, do the calipers need to be removed or can I rotate the rotors and continue working? What else should I know prior to doing this? I know how to make a new layer of material on the rotors already. I was gonna put this in timzcat's thread but I don't want to gunk it up. Any input is appreciated. Thanks.

 

Its gonna be kind of hard to get to the back of the rotor. When I had this problem I ended up turning about .002 inch off the rotors, breaking in the rotors with a few hundred easy miles on stock pads, then switching to Ferodo 2500's.

The only problem I had was getting the Ferodo's to bed in on the streets. I couldn't get the brakes hot enough. It took a track session where I got the pads hot enough to start fading (They will be smoking a bit, thats ok) then drove around the paddock without using the brakes till everything had cooled off. I now have absolutely no brake problems. No fade. No squeel. No pad transfer problems.
