This only happens when the brakes are slightly warm, If I go to brake (not even hard) the whole car vibrates! Really bad juddering. Feels like its coming from the left hand side (passenger side)

Also somtimes I can hear a scraping sound, not sure if this is connected. Would have thought it was worn pads but they look fine

Any help or ideas appreciated!

First guess is warped discs, but the other topics pick up on other issues.

Cheers for that. Didn't really consider the rears? feels like its from the front. Only thing that is connected with the rear is that the back seems to lock up very easily under braking. And its only lowered 35mm

Have you adjusted your bias valve when you lowered it?

If not, this will probably be the problem with the back.

sounds like the wheels could be unbalanced!
get those checked first as it the cheapest option!
