Your drums appear to be the original stamped steel. I would not even think of turning them, no matter how thick they are. It only takes once when your brakes fade and you end up in the middle of a busy intersection to convince you!! Luckily the traffic was light and we didn't hit anyone/anything!!

My co-pilot would not even get in my Town Sedan again after that incident.

A call to Randy Gross fixed that.
