Hi, I recently upgraded my brake discs on my car, but I notice theres a slight judder when I apply the brakes. All the discs are upgraded to 40 grooved and rear pads too. The front pads had plenty of life left on them, so my mechanic left them on. Dont you think the juddering is casued by the old front pads? Or shall I change the front brake pads? I know that the brake discs can be fitted either way! Any info will be appreciated

You sure the discs are mounted the correct way round? You need to leave time for the old pads to bed in properly. Really only the discs cause judder unless your calipers are not applying equal pressure.

"he fitted it that way because of the cooling cycle on groove discs."
Your mechanic is trying to justify a mistake; they are the wrong way round, no arguments. As long as he is not trying to charge you extra to fix the problem all is good. At least you have found the cause now. Can’t mess about when it comes to brakes.

Well weather it fixes the issue or not it is a problem found and fixing it can only be a step in the "Wright direction" . Vturbo let us know how it goes, I hated my brake judder it was very dangerous. Follow this guide

Your mechanic is trying to justify a mistake; they are the wrong way round, no arguments. A bit of a sweeping statment with no justification there ! The pagid disks are meant to be fitted that way round as instructed by the stickers on them. What brand of disk are they ? They didn't knock a wheel balance weight off the wheel whilst fitting the disks did they ?

The disks are not Pagid & no stickers to indicate direction. There are unbranded ones. I got the car booked in on Friday morning, we are going to swap the disk round and fit new front Mintex pads on, matching the rear. Fingers crossed

Are you sure Pagid don't just stamp their name on another brand of discs as i can't find any offical info on their own discs?

I saw that too but it's not from the manfacture but a reseller. Why are they not listed on Pagids website?

I couldn't get on with grooved discs personally because of the noise - I now have plain discs which are fine with uprated pads.

Just to let everyone know theres no more brake judder, it seems it was the brakes fitted the wrong way & new front brake pads. My mechanic should of changed it in the first place, but he was trying to save me money. Thanks for everyones tips!
