Since putting the car on the road under heavy braking the brake pedal vibrates/ pulsates. Ive now replaced the discs thinking I had warped discs but still have the same issue. The set up I am running is metro 4 pots, ebc green pads, vented discs, no servo. All bearings were replaced as were ball joints.

im not getting any vibration through the steering.

any suggestions?

Oval drums cause the same pulsing as warped discs

Interesting, I know when I was adjusting the rear brakes, when I rotated them it was not always rubbing. Not as easy to check though without a big lathe, Any suggestions on how?
