You'll probably be better getting new discs - what type are they, how worn, what symptoms? If they are warped because they are too thin - new discs. If they have material deposition on them they can feel warped.

Shame, the AP discs are expensive.

I heard that some use a hard race compound pad for a few miles to clean off discs.

There was a juddery incompatability between the 330 discs and DS2500 (not sure if was on 6 or 4 pots best look) which was discussed on 22b recently. Certainly they are fine on my 30(4)?mm discs.
