Hi 2dogs, Hope you checked the caliper pistons were moving freely as this may be why your discs were distorted in the first place and you certainly don't want to distort the new ones.

Discs

Discs often warp as a result of thermal shock, ie hot brakes deep water.

Or holding the pads against the disc after prolonged braking, such as coming off a motorway up a slip road to traffic lights on red, no doubt you know all this though twodogs, glad has been sorted
