Interesting. I'm not familiar with the process of having to put ALL drums / rotors on the lathe prior to install...... and I'm from the brake industry (but haven't been involved since 2008).
Rhetorical question- have things gotten that bad?
I think on these particular drums you may be able to true the friction surface on the lathe but I suspect they may come up short as far as balance is concerned.
