So I am reliably informed, K-sport use AP to manufacture their discs, after having issues when they K-sport first released their kits with discs warping and such, they approached AP racing about having them supply disc's for the kits. And now all K-sport kits come with AP discs. So call any K-sport dealer or AP and shouldn't be any problem.

I recently had mine skimmed but the clowns who did it royaly ****** them up, and I ended up paying again to have them skimmed on the car but now they are perfect again. Do you still have grooves showing on the disk? If so it may be worth considering skimming..

£100+vat to get them done on the car normally. Not too bad considering the cost of new rotors. I had mine done at PumaBuild in Birmingham. They did a really good job, feel perfect again now and paid cash too ;)

http://pumabuild.com/ - expect the usual 'Datsun' comments from the Ford bummers though!

I didn't know they messed yours up Craig? An alternative skim would be to use a local engineer but it depends how good they are. Luckily they did a good job for 40 quid....

Yeah, a local engineering company ruined mine for me! They machined them into a nice wedge shape (3mm discrepancy) so as the disks rotated the pedal pulsated as the pistons were forced in and out Getting them done on the car is the best way I think as it takes out any discrepancy in the hub etc too.
