Brakes shudder

[Irhmsd]

On Friday, I had all rotors, drums and brake pads replaced on Lola due to a mild shudder upon braking, especially at highway speed. Once the first set of aftermarket parts were in, the shuddering was far worse and reverberating through the steering wheel.....faulty rotors. Replaced those rotors with a second new aftermarket set and she did a bit better but not perfect so we did rear drums and shoes (all aftermarket also). Still felt the same so the shop asked me to put 50-100 miles on her to see if things would seat. Well, 80 miles later, shudder is getting progressively worse again. Repair shop is ordering OE rotors and we will see what happens. If that does not work, we will get OE drums but they don't think that's the issue. Thoughts?

Brake caliper(s)? Jack the front tires up and turn to check for binding, pump the brakes and make sure the brakes release.

Worn suspension or steering components can cause or add to shudder.

Calipers were checked and fine

As mentioned look at other causes (suspension, steering, driveline) because the brakes are probably not the issue.

OEM parts did the trick. Good as new. Next step, POR 15 rust inhibitor on some underside components that are starting to rust then new seat covers Installed mid October.
