ANY IDEAS WHY MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD RANDOMLY START SHAKING WHILST BRAKING? THE BRAKES WERE UPRATED TO FULL 6 POT TAROX RACING DISCS AND CALIPERS! IM CONCERNED

sounds like warped discs or the caliper isn't secure

+1 for warped discs, or a bit of rust lodged behind the disc causing it not to sit true

maybe its rust???? because my car has been sitting in the garage for four weeks while the snow has been around?!

Does it start off mild and then get worse as the brakes heat up. If so defo warped discs.

Another one for warped discs. When you say 'randomly', does that mean that you cannot replicate the symptons? Is it only above a certain speed?

its only this morning i noticed guys, it didnt seem to get any worse as i was going along, and chris, i was only driving through the city so your talking minimal speeds of thirty! ill get it down to the garage next few days! they were fine before i put the car away for the month it was sitting, and i dont brake intensively or harsh?! hope they are not warped, tarox discs cost me a fortune!

Get the car up to speed, say 50mph making sure there nobody behind you. Then progressively press the brake pedal and throttle at the same time. Could be where the road salt has accumulated on the disc over the recent few weeks. Do this for 10 seconds or so. If the vibration gets worse, warped discs fella, or a sticky calliper piston.
Had a similar problem on my wifes 107. Did the above and it cleared it.

If yhey were fine before the snow then might not be warped, just get up to speed and do some aggressive braking to clear off any rust and salts and see how they feel them

i have a similar problem and its a buckled alloy thats causing it. When my calipers were warped the cause a similar feeling of pulsing on the pedal as it did it.
