Right had the GSi a week now and only took it to 70/80 yesterday, at this speed the steering wheel judders and wobbles, when i took it a little past 80 it stopped. They fitted new tyres to the car before i picked it up, im thinking they didnt balance the wheels properly? am i correct?

Correct. Sounds like wheels need balancing mate.

get the tracting and the wheels balanced this should sort it out, also are the tyres brand new or worn more on one side

if it aint that it could be worn control arm bushes, i had this a few months ago on my GSI, got my wheels balanced 3 times tracking done twice and it never sorted it, a garage found too much play in the bushes, changed the control arms and its been fine ever since, handling feels nice and tight up front now

it'll only shake/judder when your braking if the disks are warped
