I have now completed the refurbishment and refitting of the front calipers with new Ferodo discs and Brembo pads. Pro-Calipers did a great job and the calipers look good. Havent got around to bed the discs/pads in yet as the car went immediately into the garage for MoT! (not good news on other counts). The old discs were badly and unevenly worn (the outsides looked good but the inside faces were less than 50% in proper contact with the pads with large ridges at the edges of corrosion. This was, possibly, the cause of shuddering. The calipers were showing signs of corrison around the s/steel pad holders and most of the seals were distorted/damaged. The corrosion forced the pads out and had been the cause of brake overheating/ stuck pads before. I hope that all this is now in the past especially as the rears calipers were refurbished 15 months ago.
Good to go! - and now stop
