Default Violent shaking

Alright guys..Recently bought a Bugeye,dealer replaced front pads and discs and "apparently "did a geo set up!!..I've put new Toyo Proxes on the front too.When braking soft or hard the wheel shakes like buggery and I haven't got a clue why..Any ideas anyone?

Sounds like warped discs. Did you take it easy on the new brakes for a couple of hundred miles?

Sounds like chocolate discs, best take it back to them and take one of them out in it.

Warped discs or sticky pistons in the 4 pots, I had the same issue & it was 1 seized piston in each caliper......

Right,sorry for the late update lads..Car has been in and everything underneath is fine thankfully!!..been advised to change the discs and pads,possible warping due to cheap discs been fitted,so that will get done soon.I want to go for a full Brembo set up but I'll have to change the alloys to the STI ones to allow for the calipers
