[QUOTE="Lee36328, post: 153993, member: 113"] What's not too clear to me is, does it wobble when you drive at 100kph, or does it wobble when you brake? If it wobbles when you drive, why would you suspect the brake discs? I assume it judders when you brake as well, which I think ur brake disc work would address. Next, I assume it wobbles when you drive, at above 100 kph. And you've done many things to the suspension components, as well as balancing and aligning your rims and tires. What I would suspect next, assuming all the above did not yield improvement, is that the tire is not even, i.e. has a 'lump'. This can happen, even with brand new tires. You suspect the front. I assume you can feel the 'wobble' in your steering. Else, it is the back tires. Easy way to narrow it down to rims/tires is to swap the front with the back and see if it alters the behaviour of the wobble, i.e. if you felt it in the steering before the swap, but not after, and car vibrates as a whole instead, this confirms it was the front tires/rims. If so, to confirm whether it is the tires or the rims, swap the tires, but not the rims, and check for any difference. You might want to also check the inner part of the tire, and see whether the tire wall is damaged in any way, which can happen if the car has been driven while having a puncture, or has been kerbed hard before.
