    Just had my front discs / pads replaced with Apec

    Braking seems to be a little worrying, wheel wobble and a slight judder that was not there before.

    Any ideas ? Think i will have to take the car back to the garage for inspection.

    I was told Apec are not to bad quality wise ?

    First thing to check wether hubs were cleaned properly before reassembly ( this is why I do mine myself) and if not that it will be warped discs .
    ive just replaced a set off APEC discs on mine that were warped from new.
