I've had it done a couple of times (at about £50 per wheel, if I recall correctly). The juddering went away but only temporarily. Came back each time after 1000-2000 miles.

The third time the judder came back, I had the calipers inspected and had the discs and pads changed again, this time insisting on genuine OEM (the previous set were supposed to be genuine, but we couldn't be certain). Also, I decided to (attempt to) properly bed the brakes in this time, though through a lack of suitable safe brake bedding-in locations I may not have done it as thoroughly as a should.

After probably 4000 miles or so some judder has returned but so far it's only very slight. I think I may be causing the problem myself somewhat by holding the brakes on while stationary following some spirited driving/braking. Traffic conditions allowing, I usually try to stay off the brake pedal or keep the car rolling a little while the discs are still hot but of course that's not always practical/possible to do.
