      The real problem should be the balance between over population and inbalanced m/f ratio. Don't you think the Chinese gavornment[sic] has been trying hard on this? p.s., I wish there could be another better resolution.

      The judder is felt through the steering wheel, not the car. As I've swapped out the discs (rotors) and pads, I can't see what else would be causing it. The slightly inbalanced wheels cause a slight steering wheel shake when cruising, but it's really noticable[sic] when braking - not seen this before caused by inbalanced wheels.
