New discs reqd . Its because your cars be lying around , hence the pitting . My sti had the same problem - lack of use . Doesn't have that problem anymore

funnily enough forged pistons were cheaper than subaru oem hyperthingymabob ones so would have ben rude not too as 2 needed replaced anyways  ,plus uprated gaskets,modified oil pump,big end and main bearings and another bloody cam belt,thats its 3rd in 5k budget meant only standard valves tho,couldnt quite stretch to stainless/inconnel ones i wanted but alls good and it will handle more power than i can afford to throw at it |

Wheres the pitting on the disks mate, I have access to lots of turning, milling machines etc. It the disks have only done less than 5k there is a good chance they will clean up still leaving plenty material on them, no probs for me to help ya out ! |

| You'll have to use a universal grinder mate they wont mill or turn, they are case hardened. |
