Do you have a picture of the truck your referring too or a link? And I'm not gonna put a ring around it but a plate kinda like the C5R racing teams do as well as some Baja trucks and what not. Unless the ring looks good, never seen it.

Yup yup, 3" in every direction, they do good work. They pretty much got things run the exact way I had asked them too. Real good people too! If you ever need some work done let me know Rob they are right down by us in Lawndale.

I did it to wear the rotor down a bit just so there's some deep grooves in it...deep grooves = more surface area!
