it would be a bitch to ship back, wait for shipping, re-install, etc... hope not!

Default calm down... all Alcon discs that we sell are dynamically balanced

that means:

they are balanced by machining the outer edge of the disc. Sometimes they will appear flatter on one small section of the outermost diameter. It is one of our technical highlights and ENHANCES braking performance.

For the record, the disc could be square (as long as the pad pathway was still round) and you wouldnt notice from the drivers seat.

Default Ok, I will drive it around some more to see if it improves, if not, will send pics... Jerrod told...

Blitzkreig, if the flat spots are too much or the noise doesn't go away after a while, he will send another set of rotors.
