this did it on my gsi jay, after i replaced the disc's and pads did you put any copper grease on the back of the pad as when they get hot this can happen, if it still does it then change pads again

grease on the face of the pads = pads wrecked.
does it feel like a judder? can you feel it in the steering and the pedal?
