Hi guys,

if you have carbon ceramic brake discs that are now fairly old, rope and don't work as good as they once did and DON'T want to spend tens of thousands replacing them, there is an option to refurbish them to as good as new, if not better.

SICOM in Germany offer this service. The old discs are machined, levelled and a surface polymer layer made from carbon silicon replaces the worn away surface. The results are fantastic and braking just as impressive. All for 25% of the OEM price. A 12 month warranty is also given.

Here is a Ferrari F430 that recently had them done

There is also a running discussion on the Porsche forum about these discs and the refurbishment process.
