Not a fitting issue, as I fitted them. Also no vibration or wobble until 312 miles. If it was fitting issue it would have done it from when the new discs were fitted. |

I had the same issue with brembo discs and pads did about 3k then then judder came back I changed them under warranty only for the same thing to happen again so went for gen discs which sorted the problem. I’ve now fitted yellow stuff pads all round which work well.. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

Warped discs can be caused by a few factors.

I don't think my driving style is the cause of the warped discs. If it was I'm quite sure the previous discs would have warped and not lasted 18 months during my ownership of the vehicle.

bored of discussing my driving style. First you say brakes cause hot spots and warped discs then I could be very unlucky and put my car into park whilst it’s moving. Well I think that’s what you mean. Either way bored.

Shared wisdom is the basis of the forum.

I’ve had Textstars on a Mondeo and they were poor as you experienced and I never sit with my foot on the brake, in fact the garage told me I’m far to sympathetic with brakes as mine usually end up with a glaze. I’ve also had mintex discs and pads and they were terrible, nice fancy expensive looking packaging with hologram security seals but that’s where the quality ended. That was on a Focus diesal, ended up using Genuine Ford parts at well over twice the price. They came in plain white card board boxes with a few Ford part labels. Worked a treat and outlivedthe car.

Mintex are not what they used to be,a Chinese/Japanese company bought them out for the name,they are probably crap parts in mintex boxes. Andy.

Has this only happened since the new discs and pads were installed?
