Quote from: maximtaylorSounds like pad material left on the discs is causing the discs to not heat uniformly, hence the judder when hot.
 
I\'d get a set of higher (tempeature) rated pads, and (this is important!!!) bed them in properly. Bedding them in properly should hopefully remove any old pad material left on the discs.
 
Alternatively, can you get discs skimmed?

 
Max you might be onto something there. my front drivers side disc is significantly darker than the other side...is that warping or pad material?
 
Wher would i get them skimmed or should i just chuck them and get a new set.....not worth risking my life for:2eek :driving

Just something to think about. I was chasing this very annoying problem on my old gti-r. I had 325mm grooved discs. As soon as I went to plain discs it was like silk. I spent years changing bushes, links, different pads, skimming the discs:2Mad. I have also heard some brands of pads can\'t handle the heat and will burn deposits on the disc causing vibration. Don\'t quote me on that though.
