Default 1998 s70 brake shudder

Hi all. Couple of questions. Tx in advance for responses.
Changed front and back rotors, pads and pins. Still has a slight shudder. Any ideas?
Also, why does my a/c come on when i turn on my windshield defrost? Its winter lol.

I can answer your second question. "that's just the way it is".

The compressor comes on to help remove moisture/humidity and aid in defrosting the windscreen believe it or not

how were the calipers? were they a bit sticky or did they recess easily? sometimes dirt gets in the piston boot and can get in the way of smooth action. I assume you greased the pins and backs of the pads?
