OK, back the brake problem.
Yes, I had all the front control arms replaced. And anything like that or alignment doesn't explain why it's all good for 3,000 miles and then the juddering returns, time after time.

Hi Jim I can relate to everything that you have said in your post I have been through exactly the same thing. Having replaced my discs and pads, Brembo/pagid from TPS I experienced the same symptoms in a similar period of time to you and it was really spoiling the driving experience particularly when I was braking at speed. Fortunately I was recommended to a brake specialists about an hour from me called Mototec who have equipment from Procut which is an on-car lathe which machines the brake discs in-situ. I was charged £66 and I can honestly say that it was money well spent I keep expecting my brakes to judder because I have had it for quite a while but everything is true and vibration free! If you search for Pro-cut the site allows you to locate garages who have the equipment or you can ring them. I wouldn't hesitate to use this again.
Regards David

On my current S8 the juddering was partly caused by a corroded caliper which was not allowing the pad to slide freely in its bracket. A used caliper from A8 parts fixed the problem, no more juddering. Also on my car it was more noticable above 30mph, below 30mph it was almost smooth.

Jim, there are some excellent suggestions here, but its the fact that things seem OK for 3000 miles that seems strange  maybe David's suggestion of a visit to a Procut expert might be your next move, looks like there is one in Paisley.

Jim, my judder story 3 years ago:
Installed new new front callipers, front disks and front pads. All parts genuine Audi, all done by Reading Audi, with 2 year warranty. Lot's of money, but all good. 6 months later car develops judder when braking at 'motorway' speeds, i.e. from 60-70mph down to about 40-50 mph. No judder at lower speeds. Judder 'feels' on the steering wheel too. Back to Reading Audi -- please check my brakes under warranty. They test drive the car and return to me with diagnosis: REAR warped disks. WTF? I ask them again: you sure? (judder feels more from front than from rear). They say yes, sure. I thought they play with me to avoid fixing stuff under warranty. I give them go ahead to change rear disks (thinking I will definitely kill them if judder won't disappear and claim my money back for rear disks). They change rear disks only and judder disappears. Completely gone. Lesson learned: it's not bleeding obvious where the judder comes from.
