Dnk Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 (edited) I wouldn't skim them and just fit new if you think its the discs. I'd also be inclined to fit new pads at the same time. If you do get them skimmed i'd be inclined to grind them I'd be checking the caliper pistons very closely to see if any are binding/sticking I never warped a uk disc in 15 yrs inc a few trackdays I'd have thought there would be obvious signs on the disc face to be making this noise Edited August 16, 2013 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Clonking when braking? Check your caliper carriers, one of mine was shot. Eventually you could grab the caliper by hand through the spokes of the alloy and wiggle it around. Replaced the carriers, and the caliper admittedly, and voila. Mine brakes were Jspec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purity14 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 UK spec or 4 pot calipers don't have separate carriers It might help someone doing a search for "clonking sounds when braking" Considering UK Spec is not the title - it makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
