WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT DUDE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH SKIMMING - as the title has clearly stated, skimming brake disc 'COULD' be dangerous - I also mentioned it will be dangerous if the disc is skimmed below the minimum thickness/ specification SKIMMING YOUR CARS HEAD OR FLY WHEEL IS BAD TO THEN - if they have skimmed too much, of course it's bad as the car will not run properly. It is all about specifications THE TECNI WORKING ON YOUR CAR WILL NEVER SKIM IF BELOW SPEC - if you did watch the entire video (which I assumed you did), the context was the car workshops in Malaysia are not aware there is a specification. And if they did, they are not bothered to follow - hence, the car owners are not even aware of this which can lead to fatal accidents in certain circumstances The whole point this video is to educate car owners (especially Malaysians) on the potential dangers of skimming their brake discs.

Skimming brake disc is dangerous

[@lailahharrison2466]

True nothing wrong with skimming disc but well said this dude father must own a spare shop lol.. I have my own business dude and skimming for over 15 years and never had any issues

[@davewymer979]

Simple ! Never skim discs that are on manufactures wear limit otherwise there is nothing wrong with the resurfacing as long as its done with a specialist machine like the procut

[@ThePorscheLover]

It might sound simple to you & me But there are countless videos & also the general mentality of car workshops in Malaysia that promotes skimming of brake discs either for brake judder due to uneven wear on disc or for brake noise And most 'skimming specialist' does not have the specifications on the wear limit further increasing the danger level & the consumer is none the wiser

[@bobbyshabangu]

Thanks for your advice, I'm thinking of skimming my vehicle because it has some noise on the wheel.

[@ThePorscheLover]

You're most welcome! Yes, do be careful if you still plan to skim it and ensure it's within the specifications.

I sibeh kiasi. Never skimmed. When it is time to replace, get new one. Takut.

[@ThePorscheLover]

Lol, that's good to know bro. Safety first!

Could u do a video of the different brands and options of brake disc /pad for Porsche 997/987 and what’s the difference between them

[@ThePorscheLover]

For 987/997, I would usually recommend Brembo as they are the OEM brakes for Porsche. I am currently using Brembo pads & discs for my 997 & so far it has held up well for B roads & spirited driving. You can go on track with them but if you want to do it competitively, you'll need to upgrade.

If never skim before, then can skim.

[@ThePorscheLover]

That statement can be true at times and not applicable at other times bro. It is true when the minimum thickness of the disc (after skimming) meets the required safety standards. It is not applicable when for examle, you have used the brake discs for 40,000km. By then, the discs would have been worn out & skimming will only make it dangerous as highlighted in my video.

Buy porsche but cannot afford to buy disc brake? Then you must be damn poor and cannot afford porsche.

[@ThePorscheLover]

Haha, this applies for all car makes including Porsche. At times, it's the fault of the workshops who recommend this service even though the brake disc is due for replacement as they might not stock the parts
