Im getting alot of brake judder through the steering wheel when i brake firmly.
It cant be warped discs as they have been replaced anyway and it doesnt happen all the time. For example it will judder badly, ill then lift off the brake, press it again and its fine.
Could it be down to tracking? Wheels needing rebalanced(although this was done a thousand miles ago)

The wheel normally shakes when driving along at high speed in general i.e. not braking when tracking is out etc. Did you replace the pads when you did the discs?

no, i fitted 2 litre calipers and discs but it was doing it beforehand with the 1.6 setup.
The wheel doesnt shake at highspeed by the way, theres just alot of judder through the steering wheel under heavy braking

if the disc was warped or the hub wasnt flat, surely i'd get brake judder all the time?
