ok a while back i fitted a set of 16v astra calipers and disks to me nova saloon
at first they were great but over time they have started acting strange
if i start the car drive to the bottom of the street and hit the brakes they are great - nice bite etc
ok so ive now been driving around - everything has warmed thru - car is at normal operating temperature
from this point on they seem to get steadily worse, requiring more and more pedal pressure to get the car to slow down
sometimes it feels as though they are lifting or summat - ie pedal is down hard and car is slowing down, but instead of the rate of slowing down increasing with a constant pedal pressure it either stays the same or actually gets less and i can feel the pedal pushing my foot back as if im pushing against like a rubber mat or summat
then totally sporadically they will return to normal and stop nice and quick - tho never as quick as when the car is cold
also under heavy braking the car seems to dance around and im getting a lot of shudder from the steering wheel at certain speeds
any ideas??
