   unfortunatly yes, you can usually feel the pedal pulsing when the discs are warped bad ( not like abs tho )

   depends what u call propper.
   full ebc front and back disks = 195 at larkspeed
   or full mintex front and back = 95 on ebay.
   
   depends what u want and how hard u want to stop. i got mintex on mine dimpled n grooved and when i on the track i get them smoking and they never warped or burnt out just need to remember to bed them in for 150 miles or they will go bad quick.

   Just grab some plain mintex ones from buypartsby.com, it's probably not the discs that have warped, I'd guess either you've overheated the pads or held the brakes on while stood with the discs and pads still warm and left pad deposits on the discs.

    Well, for what you'd waste on performance discs, you could spend on a set of 1144 brake pads and make 20x the difference the discs would...

    Check out euro car parts, if u want to save on cash mate, cheap as chips for a set of discs.
    Also bear in mind worn driveshafts sometimes generate rough feedback.
