Once upon a time, many decades ago, I relined the brakes and the drums very lightly shot blasted on the inside. The braking performance was incredible, with the front wheels locking on a VSCC stop-astride-a-line driving test. The downside was that I expected them to wear out quickly. However, they didn't. They just bedded in perfectly and lasted a good couple of years with the car driven daily. I've just checked the brakes on the same car and, even 1000 miles after relining with Saftech's softest material, they have still not fully bedded in. Perhaps I'm not driving it as hard as I used to.....
