I have a 2006 gs430 and when i hit my brake pedal there's a little vibration coming when the brake pedal is engaged down. My pads are fairly new and its been doing this for awhile now. Anyone with a similar issue??

Your rotors are either warped, or there is uneven pad residue on them!

Yes front rotors. either shave them or get new ones. Dont wait as all that wiggle puts more stress on suspension and steering components.

As the guys above have mentioned, it's highly likely you've not bedded in the new pads properly.
Search the term "bedding in new brake pads" - there's a general "how to" explaining what you should do.
Hopefully, if you follow the procedure, you'll not need to do anything further to the discs, such as having to remove them and lapped.

You can do whatever done in the past... On an empty road....

Run up to 60-70 and then SLAM on the brakes. Do this a couple times and they often smooth right out.

Worked for me many many times.

^^^^

Just make sure you don't slam hard enough to activate the ABS! You need to brake firm but not slam it!

If it's mainly in the pedal it's probably rear rotors. If you feel it more in the steering wheel it's the front rotors. Just make sure they turn the rotors if possible next time you get brakes. IF they are too thin, rotors need to be replaced. That should solve your problem.

I seem to have the same problem; can't feel it in the wheel, but I can feel it nonetheless.
