from like 50-60 the car wobbles when i use the brakes and gets worse when i pressed harder... not sure what it could be... wheels don't wobble at 70 normally so they're ok. got balanced when i got some tyres.
could the discs be warped??
 
yeah sound warped to me pal or your brake pads not be in the caliper right.... have you got alloys on? they need spigot rings? or have you washed your car after a long drive and got the discs wet? this could warp them!

nah i haven't done anything myself that could of warped them by mistake... the pads do scrape on the discs slightly constantly though. i think that's cos the pads are for punto with ABS so a bit more material on them... could that be it ?
cheers
 
The run-out on the discs should push the pads back during driving so they don't contact and drag on the discs all the time. If they scrape then it could be a sticky caliper/piston, check those too!
