About warped disks,
I got both of mine front disks warped. I talked to a machine shop here in Sweden that could machine them strait. They use some kinde of laser to messure the surface. Is this OK? They done it on alot of other sports cars.

The rotor must not be machined under factory minumum specs. Still, The thinner they are the more prone they are to warping again, and the easier they are to heat up.

Make sure the pads are free to move in and out. I had to file out a little more clearance on one of mine in order to get free movement. Unfortunately, I did not notice the tight fit until I had promptly warped my new Sport Rotor immediately after installation. :smash:

You should be okay as long as you are within specs --and yes have them check to make sure the caliper isnt binding. It wont hurt to take it a bit easy on them either;)
