Smile Front Brake rotors + pads

Finally tired of my vibrating front brakes, have an 03 STR, any recommendations out there on vendors etc? I would rather not pay the dealer parts prices and from what i recall the Jaguar pads make one hell of a mess


Thanks for your advice!!

Make sure that it's not simply pad material adhered to the rotor surfaces that's giving you the vibrations. Removing it is a simple fix that any garage can do.

Could be worth trying 3 really hard braking sessions. From say 60mph to 10mph but let up on the brakes at the end do not let them sit at all (and don't let the ABS/TC cut in, that's far too hard braking). Then drive for a while to let them cool before the next. See bedding in for more detail.
