[QUOTE="absidian, post: 237578, member: 4356"] I think unless you have PCCB or carbon-ceramic discs then all discs whether oem or aftermarket can be skimmed to some extent. The deciding factor really is how much disc material (thickness) is remaining. Is it brake judder that you are trying to eliminate? Because technically, discs never actually "warp" as common knowledge suggests. It is usually the build up of brake deposits or pad glazing that creates an uneven surface. I usually do a few hard-stopping procedures from 60-20mph to clear this (whilst the brakes are already warmed up) and it usually works well. Doing this regularly, as well as not keeping a foot on the brake whilst stationary has eliminated any more need to skim any of my cars' brakes. Hope this was useful... long technical blurb is really just a hazard of the job in my line! hehe. [/QUOTE]
