I checked the slider pins before I sold the car on the passenger side, they did seem very stiff, so I cleaned them up and applied a coat of Bosch silicone grease. They did move a lot freer, but I fear the damage is probably already done to the disc and pads on that side.

I'm using black diamonds and I'm very happy with them. Same as my brother in law who have them on his civic.

Just to remind you juddering not always have to be brakes fault but also bushings or ball joints. Check them as well

Yeah I will get Performance Autoworks to give the car a once over while it is there. As Tron mentioned, the discs and pads are probably already knackered due to the sticky sliders so I have ordered some brembo blanks and pads to go on.
