A few people may remember from the old wmb forum that i was gonna have some rotors made for my mono m4 brakes in work. So i've got them made up and they look sweet but don't provide much stopping power!! Do they have to be bedded in like new pads? Or are they just poop?! :cry:
Any help greatly appreciated,
Cheers,
Scott

    yes they will need bedding in as all discs do.

    but again i can not remember what you were having done so they may be poop.

    give them some time.
