Brake Disc Skimming vs Replacement

When to resurface, when to replace — and how to save money doing it.

Every disc has a minimum thickness stamped on it. If your disc is above that limit and free of cracks, skimming restores a perfectly flat surface at a fraction of the cost of new discs.

Replacement is required when the disc is below minimum thickness, cracked or severely heat-damaged.

On-car skimming has an advantage over bench skimming: it matches the disc to your hub, removing run-out that can cause vibration to return.
