So I dont think I will be using a non chamfered pad on slotted rotors agin. Not sure if mine is an isolated problem. I will give it a week and update this tread again. See if the vibration returns. If it does not reurn I will do the rears.
Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but costs nothing to try so good luck and let us know.

Less dust but they fade out earlier than ultimates from feedback i have been given. I run HPX pads in our car and don't have any shudder problems so it is not that common as we sell plenty of those pads without incident.The only common problem is light pad squeal under soft braking.
