vtr alloys on my 1.1, brakes not right?
Just put some vtr alloys on my 02 plate saxo. When i brake, you can feel a small judder in the brake pedal and the brakes are sqeeking, do you think its a coinsidence and need new pads? or have i done something not right?

I will be doing that tomorrow morning, however i dont think it will stop the problem because if the wheel(s) were buckled it would judder the car all the time, it ONLY does it when braking.

wheels may not be balanced for one.. tracking may need a slight adjustment. brakes could be binding.. give them a clean... check the lip on the discs and the pad for thickness...
the sky is your limit

Could be a few things then mate. The bolts are the right ones.
1. Wheels buckled.
2. Wheels need balanced.
3. brake pad are knackerd.
4. Wraped discs.
