Default Brake Judder

I have 8 pot 330mm K-sports and currently running K-sport pads, (Soon to be changed) There were fitted Feb 2010 and there were run in correctly, The car has never seen track use, only fast road, Ive noticed when out for a B road blast when i brake late at high speed i get violent shake in the steering wheel and through the pedal,

What is going on as its not giving me much confidence in braking

You may have deposits caused by under use of the brakes: tbh, your car is over braked for what it is used for, so their use is at a lower level than will keep them in tip-top shape.

Take it to a private track and do three or four HARD stops from high speed..........preferably when the roads are dry. And DO be careful.

That wont work, if it does it will be a very temporary fix only.

There are loads of us on here now with the same problems, its like it must be something fundamental.
