Default Anyone skim disks

Iv got 356mm k sport disks on the front of my 2003 blob sti, they have only done about 3k but I ended up with a load of pad deposits from the ds2500 pads and as the cars not been driven for the last 4 months the inner face is corroded and pitted now i have got the pad deposits off, to the point no way will I put new pads on them.

Any one know a place that can skim them ? Could AS performance skim them ? I'm local to them I will ring on Monday but just wondering if people still skim or just replace.

Thanks guys

Will also be looking for some more aggressive pads, I felt the initial bite from the ds2500 a bit lacking for my preference ok when hot but but I like a good bite 😜

Most decent garages can skim discs, I've found.
