K-Sport 330mm front discs - alternatives??

Hi Chaps, I might be needing a new pair of discs for my K-sport 330mm front kit. Replacements are looking very expensive, just wondering if anyone knows of a common disc replacement from another car?

Cheers...:thumbup:

    No track time or extreme abuse, just got proper steering wheel wobble at low and high speeds under braking.

    At first I thought it was worn suspension, but the front is all new and problem still there.

    Wheels are fine. I took it to a mechanic after scratching my head with this one. He checked all the front suspension - said absolutely no play found, but he said the discs were warped. Put the car on the MOT brake tester and found inbalance on braking effort supporting the warped disc thought.

    I have had new lower arms, upper arms, tension rods, drop links, arb+rack bushes, springs, shocks and associated hardware.

    The symptoms are very warped disc like. What else can it be?

    Good article, when I had my TVR guys from the forum were always saying they had warped disc's, many cured the problem from doing the "repeated high speed stops".

     

    Obvioulsy bedding them in correctly is paramount to stop this happening in the first place.

     

    I have always done this to my new brakes when fitted and never had a problem.

    Yeah, try removing and reseating them before you buy new ones.

    Oh my shame...

     

    Wondered what those pad-shaped outlines on the discs were from. Turns out I'm a muppet and should be shot for my amatuer-ish attempt to bed-in new pads. I will never live this down:crying:

     

    On the plus side, common sense told me to try some hard stops from speed when the vibration first appeared after some spirited driving. Result - wobble free brakes again (for now, anyway).

     

    Really good article that - well pleased I've read it, my brakes will be thankful too!

     

    Nice one
