Clonking sound when breaking from front wheel?

I wouldn't skim them and just fit new if you think its the discs. I'd also be inclined to

fit new pads at the same time.

 

If you do get them skimmed i'd be inclined to grind them

 

 

 

I'd be checking the caliper pistons very closely to see if any are binding/sticking

 

I never warped a uk disc in 15 yrs inc a few trackdays

 

I'd have thought there would be obvious signs on the disc face to be making this noise

Clonking when braking?

Check your caliper carriers, one of mine was shot.

Eventually you could grab the caliper by hand through the spokes of the alloy and wiggle it around.

 

Replaced the carriers, and the caliper admittedly, and voila.

 

Mine brakes were Jspec

 

UK spec or 4 pot calipers don't have separate carriers
