Default Shaky Braking

I had a problem last year on a track day when my brakes were causing excessive shaking under heavy braking. I originally thought my discs had warped, but after bleeding the brake system and replacing the fluid, everything was great. That was 6 months ago, and now the vibration has returned. I am using EBC grooved and dimpled discs with Yellowstuff pads. Is it common for the brake system to need bleeding so often, or does it seem like I have a leak somewhere. I am going to bleed the system again and replace the fluid with 5.1, and fit some Goodridge hoses, do you think this may cure the problem?

BTT, A lot of what I was wondering. Can brakes that require bleeding or new fluid cause vibration through the wheel under braking?

Hi
No the fluid will never cause vibration , it will either be down to pad deposits or warped discs , or maybe a hub warped
Cheers Ian
