Brake Judder !
Guys ... just put brand new EBC discs & pads on the front of my RB as I had a bit of a judder when braking.
Put the new gear on today and found that one of the parts of the 4-pot calipers was siezed so took it apart & greased it up etc. The brakes are now superb on response but still have that slight judder.
Any suggestions ? I've done the same on both front 4-pots. Could it be coming from the back-end or something to do with the wheels maybe ???

1st Q, are the disks groved, if so have you fitted them the right way round, ie- the grove should be trailing and not leading..

Still got the judder !
Anyone recomend a good brake place they've been before. I'm thinking of dropping it into power2go in Ross-on-Wye as they've been very good in the past.
I've also noticed there are no alignement screws in the front discs ..... is this right ?

Thats right 
I'd take them off and clean all the mounting points ie: the face of the hub, back of the disc, all the caliper mounting points and make sure there is no debris on the pistons or the back of the pads
Can you feel the judder through the steeing wheel?

had similar prob on my ra. When pressing the brake pedal, can you feel the judderin the pedal itself (does it feel like it comes up and down slightly/more than slight)?
If so, i would recomend front wheel bearings, and depending on how long this has been going on, possibly hubs too.
you will probably not detect bearing trouble with the standard "wheel shake" method.
can also recomend ACEmotorsport of newbridge.

My front EBC discs were fitted the wrong way around as the grooves were leading into the pad not trailing but all sorted now.
