Warped discs is sometimes a sign of worn wheel bearings or the bearings not being seated properly. When you fitted your discs before did you check the run out on them?

the bearings have been changed along with calipers and drive flange. i spoke to a guy at minispares in potters bar and he thought it might be the ebc green stuff pads as they arent that good at low temperatures and put a lot of heat through the disks. im gunna give new pads and disks a go and if thats still not right then i will get the bearings seated. however i dont think it is the bearings as disks have been warping before and after i changed them. the only things that have stayed the same...
