I had some brembo max discs fitted about 2000 miles ago. they were bedded in properly, no harsh braking, but when i brake from motorway speeds they vibrate badly. anybody got any ideas whats wrong??

i have exactly the same problem!
cant work out if its coming from the front or back tho! i also have brembo max discs.
im still waiting for a solution. the discs and pads still have plenty of wear and i cant see any cracks. im confused.
its a very loud vibrating noise from braking at motorway speeds

They are grooved discs aren't they?

Need i say more.

Could also be caused by wheel balancing, and poorly fitted pads

mine are not the grooved ones, prob not brembo max then, could be the hc ones.

will check wheel balancing when tyres are due but were balanced 4 months ago.
poorly fitted pads? what could go wrong?

Yea its really loud and you have to come on and off the brakes. Its definatly not the balance either. Can anyone recommend some discs that are good with the red stuff pads?

Could be not sliding properly, remove and copper slip everything, i had this problem and that swiftly solved it

Red stuff are very noisy compared to standard pads, I took mine off after about 500miles & put standard Renault Ferodo pads on.
I have Brembo Max discs & they still make funny sounds now, even with standard pads & don't feel as good as the standard discs.

These high carbon things are over rated imo. This is the 2nd time I've tried Brembo discs now & I won't be taking anyones advice about these discs again.
Maybe they are good for track cars or something, but they are crap for normal road use.

High carbon discs are just standard OE discs.

dont know like i have hade mine on ( Brembo max-grooved ones and yellow stuff pads from k-tec) and they in my opinion are rather good only noise is when breaking at about 5-10mph

but we are all different and all have different opinions
