Hi. Since replacing the brake pads a few months ago there has been a lot of shudder when they heat up. I am going to replace the pads to see if this fixes it.

Cooper

I have to agree With the Machining of the discs cos it sounds like you've got runout.. I've done quite a few vs to vz commodores of late and it's a common problem.Being a vt i would recommend measuring the rotors to make sure they are not under the minimu

Usual trick is replace discs,pads,overhaul calipers and change caster bushes (Noltec do a nice ur

Bendix advance pads for you. out gasing builds up on rotor. sit on 110 k or so and hit the brake hard as you can 3 or 4 times. no more problem.
