ok, to start with there was no mention of how bad the warp was when i first posted, for all i know it may have been sevre enough that that machining would take them to their legal limit, it does happen, i have seen it. and i guess pads is a personal choice, but i would replace them if my discs were getting a new face as i wouldnt worry about the machining until my pads were a bit on the low side (with still enough meat obviously), obviously depending what the surface of the disc is like though.
in monty's case, fairly new glazed discs, with slight warp, machine and all is good. and you want to replace your pads, so there is no issue there. but if they were fairly new and it didnt matter what pads you were using, a bit of emery tape to roughen them up (remove the glaze on them also) and re-fit them.
never meant to upset you you evilchief
