That's good to know, glad you sorted them out. Were you using EBC HH pads before? If so, they should really ensure their pads are compatible with their discs.
I have recently swapped out ABE discs for an Oem pair in good nick that I had in reserve. ABE discs seemed grabbier/"rougher" feel through the lever - but in a good way - felt like the brakes were slightly stronger than standard, although in reality that might not be true. However, there was some vibration under braking, probably due to warping although I could not detect any visually. If I had a track bike I'd be happy to keep them & would recommend them if it were not for the vibes. The pair of ABEs cost me £180 last year. ABE are capable of making decent discs, they supplied Simon Pavey with custom discs for the Dakar last year but I still preferred the originals in the end. If in doubt, go with Oem.
