Well, a buddy and I tackled the project today.
Swapped the rotor out because it was indeed warped. 6 millionths or whatever of warping... enough to create a lot of vibration when driving at freeway speeds as well as braking.
We also rebuilt the caliper. Getting the pistons back in required a C clamp and a lot of praying so as not to tear the dust boot, which we did on the aftermarket boots I bought. They're not as thick or durable as Porsche ones.
Getting the dust boots seated without tearing through the rubber isn't easy either.
Now I must buy new bearings for the front wheels. One is tight and the other is loud. Hans will have to do this job though. I don't have the equipment to pull them and replace them.
BTW, tore up my nice red painted caliper and the porsche decal doing this job. Now I have to buy the G3 paint system and more decals when I get the other side done.
