yes i wan to change my brake pad. and he told me that my brake disc need to be skimed. i also feel 2 yr and 30000km sooo less ler.

is the disc surface suppose to be TOTALLY flat? i can feel very fine circular lines on the surface when i touch it with my finger.

i mean skim the disc, not the pads  =)

normal brake no problem.. once i brake at high speed got feel a bit vibration, not till shaking lo

Was asking that just to know how you got that offer to skim it in the first place. smile.gif

Anyways, fine circular lines, normal. If it's a deep scratch, not normal. If you brakes vibrate the skim, like what others suggested. The brake pads are running through some dips/bumps on the disk that causes that.
