Interesting that Racerboy and I seem to have the identical problem and the common denominator seems to be the Redstuff pads. Even after changing rotors and rebedding, the problem persists. I have a brand new set of Yellowstuff pads not yet installed but now I'm wondering whether I shouldn't have gone to Pagids

Assuming you and Racerboy have brand new and performing brake fluid in there? Boiling fluid not only cause fade, it also create 'random' energy distribution on the pads & rotors. Vibration and/or warping can occur.

When brake/vibration issues occurs in the pits here, the first thing the boys does is checking mechanical run-out, flushing out the fluid and slamming in new rotors. Pads is the last thing on their list (I think). They normally link pads/compounds to breaking performance, not vibrations.

Annoying bug you guys got there :/ Hope you sort it out... can't imagine what it feels like coming in a hairpin at speed with a compromised breaking system. I'd pee myself I think
