Yeap. I found out, one of my calipers, one piston was jammed and misaligned, another caliper, some screw holes needed retreading. which brake pad perform better?, bendix? mentix? ferodo?

QUOTE(jacek @ Jul 10 2008, 10:34 AM) it depends on how bad it was when u go for the 1st skim. there's no particular rule stated that only can skim once for any disc. ask ur mech to check on the disc cond and then decide whether to go for 1nd skim. another opt is, just go for the 2nd skim (if u have extra budget), and then try again to brake at 90km/h, feel the difference. anyway, it is just RM50 for skimming. worth trying, rather than changing the disc.

Usually it's advisable to get our car's brake calipers service every 25,000km. I only service my braking system whenever i replaced new sets of brake pads with my mechanic.
