Yep you've been giving the 1.3 sr brakes to much hammer :o and overheated them warping the discs. The best thing you could do is ditch the nova brakes and fit some 2.0 16v brakes off an astra,cav,calibra from a scrappers these are much better:D. You will need 14" wheels.

Try replacing the caliper slider pistons.
It won't get rid of all the vibration if the disks are too warped, but I did it on mine, and it reduced it a lot.
Best get new disks as well though, then you should be ok....if it is entirely the breaks.
A dodgy wheel bearing or worn suspension parts, could make the vibration worse than it would otherwise be.

If you can though, do as above, and get some 16v breaks. You may as well while you're at it!

If you buy new discs, go for genuine ones not hap copies! They fuck up within a few miles ;)

wheel balencing can make them judder from high speed as well
