I've been getting vibration/juddering when braking for a few months now. Ordered Pagid discs and pads for the front yesterday. Hopefully it'll cure it but may need Calipers as you suggest. :(

Not really seeing any more Brake Dust. Only get the juddering on Braking so gonna try discs and pads first. Will also check caliper operation when I install the bits.
If not this then maybe a trip to the Stealers but hoping this will cure.

Haha nope brake sensors never made an appearance, guess there broken or absent? Only had the car 2 month, I knew it needed new discs but pads seemed fine. But it's the pad at the back of the disc that I couldn't see which has worn down to metal, my spirited drive finished it off I think.

Already ordered new discs and pads anyway so it can damage the disc, doesn't matter :)
