sounds to me like you hubs arent pressed into your wheel barings properly.....

have you used machined astra hubs? if so you havent machined enough off them......

search the site and you will find a thread by myke..... he had a simular problem

solution: get m-tech hubs......

did you check your brake fluid level after you changed your discs? Did you also bleed the system?
