I did a track day about a month ago and now when i brake at hight speed i get some vibrations through. Soi am guessing i have wharped my front discs!!!
Could be that they are of bad quality metal. I am very hard on brakes and have not had any problems even from high speed braking.rev3kid wrote:when you finished on your track day did you apply the hand break near enough stright after you had finished your run??
Its coming from just the front as well???

Since then i have done one track i bought some carbotecs but did not fit them as the brembo pads had loads left on them so i thought i would just kill them and fit new disks and pads.....| 99 528i SE Touring | 01 Mandarin VX220System-G wrote:OK.
If the discs were warped, you would also feel a pulsating under gentle or prolonged braking too.
If you're only getting juddering under hard braking, it would sugest ball joints, bushings, droplinks etc.
Is the juddering felt through the pedal only or the pedal and steering?
.... the juddering is just through the pedal mate, its only under hard or long breaking i feel it. Gee Man wrote:System-G wrote:OK.

er.
Follow the Carbotech bedding in proceedures and you should be fine. If the symptoms are imediately apparent, then look at the suspension components.& slides and give them a good clean out . Lube up and refit using something like Budweg Calliper Lubricant or the Mintex CeraTec stuff (avoid copper grease at all costs). Check the pistons are free moving too.| 99 528i SE Touring | 01 Mandarin VX220[/quote] Follow the Carbotech bedding in proceedures and you should be fine.

Phone them get pricing and then ask for MR2 club discount 
| 99 528i SE Touring | 01 Mandarin VX220 they warped, so I put a new set on from Brakes International. They eventually warped again after several thousand miles. After some searching about I discovered th hubs may have been warped and in need of a re-skim. So, I bought some EBC grooved/drilld discs and Greenstuff pads. I also asked the fitter to check the hubs before fitting. He forgot, and since then my discs have warped again. Bloody brakes!!!
'caliper' the really hot one Is sticking. If sticking that wheel will have heaps of brake dust on the rim.Eliminate this one.Harry wrote:
Touch the top of each
(sticking or not) after a run - you could land up with serious burns 
| 99 528i SE Touring | 01 Mandarin VX220 Just keep using them until the pads are dead and replace with new pads / discs.
..I am fussy on my wheel nuts being torqued to 120 nm.Bender Unit wrote:Whats the worry, just sounds like the discs are slightly out of true.
Uneven hub faces and incorectly torqued wheels can also cause disc warping from what I have heard.
(standard discs on) with carbotecs 
I am going to but the discs this week and take the pads and discs with me just in case
