Re: Carbone Lorraine RC5+ - Pictures & Review (Coming Soon)

I find it hard to believe that you will be able to drive them on the street without ever heating them up. If you had a controlled place to scrub the rotors, then fine. Just doesn't seem realistic to me, I'd imagine you end up having a slightly hard time getting them totally cleared of old pad transfer. I read the article and could see how this would work, given the right situation though.

But he talks about starting with a clean slate, and i don't think he's going to argue that machine rotors aren't a clean slate. For a daily driver, that would seem to me to be the quickest way to get up and running with new pads without having to 'take it easy on the street' for a week. machined rotors, bed them in, and good to go.
