    don't forget to throw a couple lugs in to secure the rotor, i can't remember if the 124 has those pain in the ass back bolted rotors on the front like the 126 and older cars, i think they are pop off's like a 190 and need a few lugs with maybe a few washers each to keep the rotor tight on the hub, same for the rear

    winfred i refaced the disks today and the wobble has gone. they were spinning true but the surface of them was uneven if you know what i mean? bit shocking for brand new disks!

    anyway the old man is happy again so thanks for all your help and suggestions

    were they brembo's? i've gotten a few sets on various cars that had a thickness variation, and a **** load of ate's a year or two ago that must of been made from old lawn furnature, it was weird but it almost looked like the surface of the rotor was smeering
