when you changed the discs last time did you clean the hubs down good? with a wire brush? also cheap discs do warp quick my 288 front discs lasted 5k now there warpped they were just gsf discs,pads, il be geting some ebc turbo discs when i can afford some :) there not drilled as ive heard many people moan about drilled discs as they crack

I'll give them a good clean when I fit my new discs. I'd be happy if mine lasted 5k  :grin:. And nah. Not into drilled :) think I'm gonna buy some plain ebc/brembo discs from badger5 and get him to groove them! Or just go for ultimax.

Bushes, tracking, ball joints, track rod ends, wheel bearings. All of these can cause a wheel to wobble. Sure you havent got a sticking caliper and causing one disk to get too hot? Coming to a stand still generally does it as it causes a heat spot.

All of the above have been replaced within the last few months and there is no play within the wheels. Pistons go in fine. But still gonna scrub them down when I next fit new discs.

Any other suggestions before I splash out? :)
get drilled ones .My front brake was stuck on for god knows how long (wheel wouldnt turn jacked up), got a puncture fixed to find the alloy hot as hell and a bad smell from the pads. Mechanic said the groved and drilled discs help get rid of the heat. I fixed the caliper and disc was fine.  :drool:

Don't get drilled discs! Drilled are evil and crack.

Not really sure why you keep getting vibrations mate, sounds very odd to me. Are you properly harsh on your brakes?

Wouldn't like to think so! Have never had any problems with discs before :undecided:
