   Right, I have just had my brake disc's skimed, as i was getting a lot of vibration when braking. This should make them 'as new'. This was done yesterday along with some new Tarox pads. But they are actually no better or even worse. Do i have a more serious problem on the sax??
   
   Help please!!!

   I have just read some other threads! (look before you post eh!!) Could it be that the wheels aint balanced right?? As my disc's should now not be warped!!!

   possibly, I would get your wheels checked first, then take it from there

   not sure, as I know you have probs with vtr alloys in some garrages, due to the centre caps not coming out, but don't know about the vts, then again vts has no centre cap, best phone a couple to see if they can do the vts rim

   if it was the wheels out of balance then the vibration would happen all the time (usually above 50ish) and not just when braking. sounds like the discs were either to far gone or just haven't been skimmed properly. personally i'd just buy new discs.
