Balancing judder after new brake discs fitted

Lets assume the discs have been fitted correctly and the appropriate make, it does matter!
Its likely to be high spots on the pads, give them a while to settle, usually 200 to 300 miles.
Check the caliper sliding pins are tight too.

It's not juddering when braking, only above 75+. I had no issues when I was on my old discs. I don't think balancing the wheels again would make a difference would it ?
Amen to that. It doesn't take much to clip a weight either removing or putting a wheel on, so just to eliminate it get the wheels balanced.
That's my next job I guess. Re-balance. I got into my head that the new discs are heavier or something and so this changes the balancing ?
Right ok , would be any other reason why there was no issue in my old discs. Is it simply that a weight has been knocked off ?
well my crystal ball isnt working at the min 
but...
i bet when they took the wheel off they caught it on the back plate for the disc its usually enough to knock off a balance weight or make it loose so when you drive down the road it drops off. Its that or they have left the wheel loose or something.
