[s-cars] Sticky Big Red

[Tom Green]

Those pads should work like the genuine Porsche pads, Abe.  I can't  
see the rotors, so
I don't have an opinion.  If they are really smooth and not glazed you  
can possibly get
away without turning them, but it will take some aggressive  
scotchbrite or a fine emery
cloth pad.

I would mike them and then turn them if it were mine, but you run the  
risk of a poor job
making things worse instead of better.  I have Porsche rotors on the  
sedan and the two
piece rotors can't be turned so I am left to scuff the surface if the  
pads are changed.
