Lude Generation

Less than a year ago I fitted oem replacement blueprint front discs and pads along with new fluid while bleeding the system.
I've noticed that when I get on the brakes hard and repeatedly I start to get vibration through the brake pedal (and slightly through the steering wheel).
Driving normally I don't have the problem. I'm guessing I've warped the discs on one to many freaking insane runs.

Any ideas?
Should I look into a pad and disc setup better suited for their application in standard size, or is there a noticeable difference fitting the ATR setup?

EDIT: Why is it that when I write "s.p.i.r.i.t.e.d" it shows up as "freaking insane" on the post?

Your average "OEM" quality discs (which I think blueprint are a little less quality) on the front won't take much punishment to be honest, I had the same thing when I bought my bb4, I ended up buying a good quality pad (ferodo ds2500s) and an up market disc (brembo blank discs) with some braided hoses and some castrol racing brake fluid I never cooked the brakes again, and I really give them a hammering nearly every day for about a year..

Spend a little more and it will pay off...

I got the blueprint stuff with 40% off from my general parts supplier and I couldn't wait to drive the Lude as I had just bought it.
You learn from your mistakes I guess.

The brembos are a quality product, I now run them on all my cars.

The vibration is the indicator that something isn't right with your brakes. TBH they will need a breakdown and clean to see what is the problem. 9/10 times when I have brake judder is that my discs are goosed, commonly for me they are covered in heat cracks.

But it could be a stuck pad or slider pin.

After a drive I would see if any of your brakes are hotter than any of the others, if one or two are, that may show that there is an issue with that disc/pad.

It's very difficult to warp a disc. Alot of people go to that issue straight away when in fact the pad material can be to blame and it can get stuck on the discs.

Agree with ratty. Very hard to warp discs. Sticky pot, glazed disc, geo out, wheel balance to check first.

Atr upgrade well worth it. Also 330mm disc convertion if you can find it.

I agree with Ratty, it is difficult to warp your discs unless you're beating on them at a track imo. Its more likely to be the pad material unevenly distributed on the disc and ive had this before due to too much light braking.

I would try this, get a can of brake cleaner, dowse the discs front and back and wipe down with a paper towel. Now go out and re-bed your brake pads with some firm braking, ive done this before and it cured the problem, it may help you and a £5 can of brake cleaner is a damn sight cheaper than just replacing the discs.

Thanks for the quick replies guys.
I'll check the caliper temperatures as soon as I experience the vibration. I'll clean off the discs and pad surface aswell.
The problem only occurs when I really work the brakes. General day to day braking shows no sign of the vibration. That's why I thought it could be the disc warping under heat.
My father has got a dial to check for possible unevenness in the discs so I'll use that aswell (Can't remember the name).
