Vauxhall Vectra B - Brake Judder - TRMX13

Hi, I have a 1999 Vectra 1.8 petrol and it's been fantastic, until recently the front brakes started juddering. ( Tried slowing down with just the handbrake and it's fine )
So I have changed the Discs & Pads with good quality items and beld new fluid through, but
it's still the same ? I'm just concerned it maybe the ABS ? ? ?

Any ideas please ? Thank you in advance ... Tony ...

Apart from steering and suspension, worn bearings, disk runout (it happens on new ones), tyres bulging ..

Try swapping front tyres to rear.. eliminates one possibility at zero cost
