I think it was Raz himself that told me about him getting wobble with a 345mm setup, a good few months ago. So it seems he's got the same issue now with a different set.

Maybe I read into things too much, but I've definitely heard a few people saying they have the same problems.

Something to do with the calipers coming off and going onto another car maybe, and the type of caliper/disc is just a red herring?

345 is quite a big diameter for 1 piece disk.  More chance of run-out compared to a smaller disc.    Just another one of those "Mine's alright jack vs they warp like buggery" things that can't be quantified.

The first set I had problems with last year were because the discs were skimmed and the seller didn't tell me till after I fitted them. Just not my luck, :(

Had a close look at the discs and there is uneven surface on them and also on the inner and outer part of the disc surface the colour fade is a different shade.
