Have used Pagid discs on my cars for many years now.

No problems at all.

They also have a nice coating which helps to keep rust at bay (on non pad contact areas) and cheap from Eurocarparts when they have their usual on line discounts.

Pagid have an excellent reputation - one of my local garages has fitted them for years on every car they see, as they know they don't get returns or faults - just happy customers. Very good quality and at the right price. NEVER had any problems with Pagid parts - pads, discs, callipers... all good and they're what's on my car now.

I am assuming you've made sure the Calliper Sliders are sliding freely, because if they are sticking, even slightly this will pull the disc out of line & give a judder.

Have you checked to ensure the hub bearings have no free play?

Is there any chance that the front calipers are sticking? The drag from pads rubbing on discs can cause discs to overheat.

Also - are the suspension bushes OK? Especially those that control fore-aft movement

Always look for simple things first, being the 2nd rule of fault finding!

Sitcking piston or rusty piston under the dust boot and ridges worn into the carrier pins, and or missing shims from behind the pads.
