i think it's called skimming too... It's to get the surface of the disc flat. Or else it will shake when you brake at certain speed.

Just replace it with a brand new one. Only RM260 original. Save you all the trouble.

If your original spec front brake disc thickness is 22mm, after machined, the thickness should NOT be less than 20.40mm. If 10mm for rear, minimum is 8.4mm.

And after machined the discs, you should use new set of brake pads..., NEVER use old pads on new discs...

Good luck!

Just for one disc only. Not a pair. And I mean disc brake not brake pad. What was the price you got?

last two mth i change no-ori disc brake on rm130. but one mth after install, my steering shake again when break..

If it was me, I'd replace the brake discs. RM500+ for a pair of new discs is nothing when it comes to safety.

bmw7833, I think it would help if you include your car model in your profile... I think u should know that BMW produces a lot of models... not like plotong, 20 years but still selling something similar to what they had 20 years ago...

 

[funfer_fahrer]

For RM260 per disc I am referring to E39 model

 

[bmw7833]

ok, fabianyee, thkx anyway.
