steering wheel vibration

Just recently while doing about 50+ the steering wheel seems to shake and you can feel vibration through the pedals.
We have checked today the obvious things like if the wheels are balanced, suspension, ball joints etc but that all seems fine.
Does anyone know what else it could be??

Has now majorly started shaking the car when i brake doing about 60 so im guessing the front brake discs are warped.
What are the best discs to put on the car, not looking to spend alot but want a decent set for around £100??

Going for apecs, works out to £85 for discs and pads and apperently that is pretty much the standard brake setup.

I had a similar issue. One of my front brake calliper pistons had seized. So I bought new uprated callipers

Is it though? Surely the "standard setup" would come from a dealer, and what price THEN?

Don't skimp on brakes (or tyres) buddy.
