Default WTF has happened to my brake discs!?

ok, just cleaned my boost solenoid to try overcome my engine issues.

When out for a blast i was getting on the brakes and they made a rather loud 'whurring' noise.

It kinda sounded like a fooked wheel bearing.

Brake pedal felt fine etc.

I have recently put my Project MU pads on, but they have been fine.

This is what the discs look like.....




Once again in my limited knowledge, they look like the middle section of the discs have been burnt.

WTF is going on?? car is falling apart!!!

As for the discs, thats what i initially thought, but i havent used them hard since fitting the new pads, so it makes me think otherwise?!?!

bet its only on one side?

If it is it will be a sticking caliper mate. That discoloration is caused by heat.

Thats defo overheating of the disc, usually caused either by sticking caliper or youve been dragging your brakes.
