If you get a shudder, 1st try to tighten the front wheel bearings. Then check for play on other steering components. Always skim the discs on the car.
As a rule , I will always skeem the disc ones.... skeeming mean less disc , faster heat. Back to step one, juster in a quiker time 😂

i'm drifting on standard brakes, with standard discs, on ferodo platinum pads!!!
i dont like my rear brakes much, but thats cos the floating caliper on one side keeps binding, and then i get uneven pad wear (and probably disc wear too)! 😂 😂
Check clean/replace the sliding pins on the rear brakes. High heat grease sometimes help to make the sliding pins work properly.
Like the Ferodo Platimums for hard driving. For track work the full ceramics is even better.
I had to skim the discs after about 100 000km of only using Nissan pads. Since switch to Ferodo Premier/Ceramics, no wear at all.

My experience of them is so bad that I wont allow a empty Ceramic box into my workshop.
Platinums FTW
I use ceramics on my Polo, the platinums aren't so hard on the rotor, but I've got them to fade... 😕 Also the ceramics don't last that long, well about 15-20K for me...
The ceramics you have to get lekker warm for them to really work nicely, I've had them lock up a couple of times when they cold.
I guess different strokes for different folks...
Ceramics are just to hard on the rotors, platinums are good.
