Hmm I almost think that the issues Unob has with brakes is related to his driving and very short commute. My understanding is he drives aggressively to work that is 2 miles away (before he moved to his new home). That means, spirited acceleration then aggressive braking. Maybe he keeps his foot on the brakes while waiting at the light? If I'm not mistaken, this could cause issues with deposits especially after a hard stop when the brakes are really hot. Just a guess. After a hard stop, I usually try to avoid keeping my foot on the brakes while waiting.
I'd be interested in seeing the condition of his rotors. My rotors on my Mazda6 fronts had physical grooves you could feel with your hands. A bit of pulsating could be felt in hard freeway braking. I believe its because of a combination of improper bed-in of new pads and the fact that I drive the thing HARD. From day 1 off the dealer lot I drove my Mazda6 like I stole it. Braked like it I hated it. (Lots of fun in the process!!)
Essentially these OEM street pads weren't "eased" into and driving hard from the get go contributing to uneven deposits. Starting from scratch with my new rotors and pads...I learned my lesson and did the proper bed-in process. Now I can drive it hard and stop hard with no pulsing. In hindsight I should've just resurfaced my oem rotors.
