Vibration under heavy braking.

Sorry Oli,your right about the run out thing.

Also rear hub nut torque setting on alloy arm car is 500nm and a bit more on a steel arm car ( that means you need about 12 feet of scaffold pole and a huge ratchet / torque wrench to undo and re do it. )

I had a look for the thread you mentioned Oli but I couldn't find it! Do you remember when it was roughly?

If you do a search for 'caliper' posted by Andy Watson in the 944 forum more than a year ago it brings up several threads that should be helpful.
 
Andy's thread covers this well.

One thing I will say is to not use copper grease on the sliders. Some have with ok results, but on more than one occasion I have had the semi seize as a result or seen others seize (like my 205 which came to me with a nearly new set of pads and discs). Brake grease seems to have more lubricating properties than copper and does not seem to seize. With a working and free set of sliders you should be in for a surprise with the braking performance.
 
Oli is correct regards "run out" when you are looking for brake disc running "true" you place a DTI gauge against the disc and rotate and look for uneveness which has a tolerance.

DTI= Dial Test Indicator

Basically an analouge gauge which touches the surface and moves with on rotation and indicates the movement of the disc compared to "true" ( dead straight) measures thousands of an inch (or the metric equvalent)
