were they second hand?
If so the discs could be warped. As this is what was causing my brakes to judder.
If not, wheel balance?
Drives supercharged Tec with torque

ttt
does it matter if the discs are not the same both sides.I mean the fact that the hubs might be 180 degrees out so the pad isnt hitting the grooves at the same time on both sides??
