if i am going about 70-80mph, and i brake quite harshly i can feel the pedal vibrating under my foot! this is quite worrying, doesnt really do it at lower speeds, they just fittted the suspension and alloys and did the tracking.

i am due on tuesday to re-torque the nuts. may be this?

what cud it be? shall i just give the brakes a good power wash?

thanks kris, but its a 1.2 and the brake bias doesnt need adjusting as it is in the brake line and is not affected by lowering (max haynes says this, plus other ppls on here who have 1.2)

do u suggest re-track or re-balance?
