I'll throw in my 2 cents. It's difficult to completely diagnose your problem from this little bit of information, but I cured my brake shudder problem by feshly turning my rotors and machining slots in them to vent the gasses.I only experienced these problems at track events after exercising the brakes VERY hard. You didn't indicate whether or not the brakes were hot or cold at the time of the shudder. There are so many variables...One of the things to look for are very tiny hair-line cracks on the braking surface of the rotors. It has been mentioned that these cause the rotors to expand and contract at different rates at different places on the rotor surface.As I mentioned, turning and slotting the rotors helped me.BTW, I'm glad to see the thread has been de-contented of all the vitriol.[This message has been edited by ChopsJazz (edited 03 March 2002).]
