4 pot issue...again!

4 pot issue...again!
I have 4 pots on my x reg uk turbo.
Last year I bought a second hand set due to mine being done in. I bought new seals and s/s Pistons, New pagid discs and new pads.
All was fine however recently when braking at slow speed it feels like my brakes going on and off as if there's a high spot and at say 70 my steering wheel shakes violently and I can feel it through the pedal. Sometimes it's worse than others
I have only done about 4k on these discs and am not heavy on the brakes.
Is there anything other than warped discs that can be causing the issue?
Thanks
Dave

HI
Yes a sticky piston would cause the brakes to stay on slightly , heating the discs up when you drive around , over heating the discs constantly can warp them , which would mean to fix them they would need a skim , or changing.
When you fitted the pistons did you thoroughly clean the inside of the caliper bore to remove all rust , if not , they will start sticking again even after fitting stainless steel pistons

As regards the ops issues, to my understanding, if the calipers have seized causing the discs to over heat and warp, they are screwed.

Might be my imagination but today when the car had sat for 8 hours at work and I drove off there didn't seem to be an issue however after about 5 minutes they were doing the same thing?
It pagid discs!
Yeah I do that at junctions! Mmm could be the issue

The longer you drive like this , the more chance the discs have of warping , so if you get the calipers done asap the discs and pads should be ok
