When that happens your brakes will take MUCH longer to bring the vehicle to a stop.
      there is no "roughness" on new drums. You don't need to change them unless you clearly see they went bent, cracked, or worn not equally.

      Drums and rotors over time can get “glazed” which will make them too smooth and lower the stopping ability. Yes there is a “roughness” to new rotors and drums. Take a soft rag to them when new and you will feel snagging. Here is a simple explanation.

      just think of trying to stop your car on black ice compared to dry concrete.
      smoother is better…..to a point.
