    Over an hour each side.

    When you think you have taken too much....you haven't.
    It is crazy how much comes off those rear calipers.

    Start...


    Ground down...


    End....



    This one if of the other side in the middle of grinding...

    I checked.

    I have heard if you go too far you can make them weak. I took my car out after I did the grinding and got it up to 135-140MPH. Laid into the brakes pretty good. Made sure I was on a lightly traveled section of highway east of Denver.
    Held together as I expected. But I wanted to make sure. If they were going to break...I wanted to have them break out there....where I could coast to a stop.
