Default Quick Fix to Brakes Juddering?

Hi guys.

I got the full stoptech stage 2 kit which included the Axxis Ult pads. After my last visit at the circuit i switched to a less aggressive compound. Couple of months later after i bedded them, the brakes started juddering - but only occassionaly. wtf..

What do you think is the problem?
Is it actually because of the change of pad materials?
if so what's the quick fix for this besides resurfacing it?

thanks in advance!

Juddering...you mean the steering wheel shakes when you apply the brakes? Only way to fix it is resurface your rotors if they're within specs or replace them.

rebed the pads, following the procedure your current pad manufacturer suggests

Axxis Ultimates are far from being a trackable pad fwiw

ok guys thanks for the advise. i'll be picking up the Z from the shop tomorrow.

first i will try to re-bed the pads - does this mean it's gonna scrape off the uneveness on the rotors?.

anyways, if it doesnt work ill just go get it re-surfaced.
