Default Little Trick on tuning up your full floating rotors

Just in case you don't know, if you have full floaters you can take 2 washers a bolt and 1/2 nuts and throw them in your holes on your rotors to flex them around to remove gunk. I know this is a terrible description but hey i just did it to the TL and braking is much better when the rotor can move how it is supposed to. Ill post some example pics sometime this weekend if you dont understand what im saying.

Makes no sense. Make threads when you have all the supporting pics. Don't make us wait.

sounds like something I could do easily with some 400 grit sandpaper and a front stand.

Seriously. All the time with no pics. This is an insanely bad description of how to do anything.
