Fiesta Turbo Brake Judder

Postby FLECKYBOY on Sat Apr 22, 2006 10:24 pm

hi
my fiesta's front brakes have began to judder/shake onlywhen braking from higher speeds,
the car is a 91 fiesta turbo with abs, stanndard ford set up
it feels like when you brake in the snow with abs that sort of judder ?
have looked at the discs which seem ok and not warped, the pads also have lots of meat left,
anybody got any ideas ?
cheers

In 5 year's of owning my frst the best pads and disc's ive used is mintex they sell them of ebay i would go for standard unless running over 200bhp as it will be a waste of cash but some thing to look into in the future i would go cosworth to feel the diffarents. I paid £40 odd just for the pads at burton power so the deal on ebay is very good
