It will be interesting to determine who are most affected by brake shudder what type of driving styles or transmissions are most prone to the problem.. If you are like me and have a XR6 Turbo on order and wish you were driving it brake shudder or not hang in there I am just...............

It's funny that the people it should happen to are those like me I thought...

Highway klms - warping due to pad knock back skimming the disc. Not so it would seem.

Machined at 9800k's currently 14200k's shudder has not returned, driving is a combination of highway runs and town use, if it doesn't happen again I'll put it down to the "green disc" theory.

I have a manual XR6T with standard brakes. Mostly city driving. I now have just under 6700km on the clock and have had no brake problems to speak of.
