Title: Brake Disc Scimming
Post by: Neilgti on November 17, 2011, 07:59:57 pm

Been to Awesome today to get my front discs scimmed after i had warped them on Track,
They scim the discs on the car so that they run true with the hub, a lot cheaper way to solve the vibration and would say that the Braking on the APs now are smoother than when they where new :happy2:
£99.00 +vat cheaper and a better than buying new Discs  :smiley:

Hurdy had his Tarox 10pots done at Awesome but dont think they managed to cure the run out though.

Yours feel better now?

The full car shook braking down from about 80 mph
They are now smooth as silk  :smiley: not a vibration or wobble anywhere, very happy with the results  :happy2:

I thought i would give it a go because,
While i was at Spa and talking to one of the racing team mechanics they said that getting warped dicsc rescimmed on the car usually last a lot longer than replacing for new ? because they have undergone lots of heat cycles and are less prone to warp again  :smiley:
Only time will tell,
