Yes, in fact I actually did all that. Cleaned the surfaces with embry paper per AP UK's tech directions, ran both the radial and the axial run-out. Only the surface run-out was out on both a bit. I also took the rotors off before hand, cleaned all rust and anti-seize compount off, etc. Talked to Stilen today and they agree that although a small amount out from the max, it's most likely the front rotors, in fact they said it'll get worse, which it has since about May when I noticed the vibe at braking. Got two new ones in the mail. More to report when I get it all together and on the road again. Hopefully this will not be a waste of $$$!
