World record for rusting discs?

[loonycat]

So I'm washing my C4S on the weekend and am about to take it for a post wash run to dry the steel discs and the phone rings. A 20 minute phone conversation later and I get back to the car to find all 4 discs coated in a thick coating of rust. In 20 minutes - I couldn't believe it!

A hard run dragging the brakes later and the rust was gone but it is incredible how fast it comes after the discs get wet. Is this specific to Porsche or do all steel brake discs rust like this? Can't imagine how folks manage who leave their cars on the road in winter.

Less than 20 minutes, regularly.

Just goes to show, never put the car away with wet brakes if at all poss - even a quick run back and forwards a few yards can help

Does anybody know how much it costs to get all 4 discs skimmed if you remove them and take them to the machine shop yourself?

It cost me 80 quid (a pair) to have them done at an independent. Just took the car and they did the rest. They were skimmed in situ with a special machine. Quite impressive really.

Just having my rear's skimmed at 80 for the pair. just take the car and they do the rest.

Does anyone know the minimum thickness that you can go to with 993 discs?

Sounds like just the ticket.

Can I ask which indie you're using to get the discs done?

Cheers

Only £300 for a new pair of genuine Porsche discs at an indie, fitted.

[damianc4s]

£230 for a pair of front discs for a 996 C4S/Turbo from Carnewal....bargain!
