So skimming it will get it back to its original function? How much would it cost?
Btw, i notice my discs looks rusty after leaving it under a heavy rain. Any effects?
If so, then ill just skim it once if i need to. Then maybe just change the discs.
Anyone ever used the standard Brembo discs? Any difference with stock?
And the pro-rs brake hose? Want to improve my braking.
I think the taikos have responded to your inquiries. But I wanna fill it in a bit :
1. Skimming is to ensure the rotor is
flat. If it's uneven or wavey then you'll have braking vibration problems.
2. It costs about RM60 per side, if you know someone maybe RM40 per side. Always skim two sides at a time imho. Even wear and tear.
3. Rusty looking rotors is because the rotors are made of steel. Drive it a bit and the pads will scrub off the rust and it'll be nice and clean looking again. Only want to avoid rust is to opt for carbon ceramic rotors.. but you won't like how much they cost and usually don't come in any smaller than 17" size.
4. Brembo is a brand. It determines the quality and the price of the product you buy. Not all brands out there are bad and not all brands are good. You need to survey a bit to find the right one for you ($ and quality).
5. You can only get a performance rotor or a standard rotor. Branding doesn't make a difference other than design and quality. Performance rotors usually are cross drilled / slotted to reduce brake fade, they don't make you brake harder and faster, they just help you brake more efficiently. Performance rotors usually come with 'performance sound'... wooong woooooong woooooong...
But it's not a irritating sound.
6. Steel braided hoses allow for a better brake pedal feel. Rubber hoses when new are stiff and hardly expand. Once worn, they tend to expand giving you a very spongy pedal feel or you need to press harder to get any braking feel. Steel braided hoses need to be well designed, installed and kept clean often otherwise they can get damaged and leak brake fluid. You don't want your brakes to fail. The famous brands are Pro-RS, Improve, BFGoodridge, Superstreet and the more famously expensive brands like Brembo, Endless, Wilwood, etc.
Good luck dude
