Default brake pads

I just recently replaced my front brake pads and rotors and just pads the rear. I noticed that my brake paddle feels funny went I brake. It feels like some vibration and and a slight brake paddle movement in and out,it's not smooth braking like it usual to. I used all OEM parts. I have about 54k mile on it. Any one have this same issue or suggestion how to fix it. thanks

Sounds like your pads are not bedded in properly

Here are some articles that explains more:

Curious, did you have the rears resurfaced? The GX has a history of rear rotors warping and they are more prone to warp sooner after being resurfaced. I did just the opposite, I replaced rear rotors and pads due to pulsing in the break peddal caused from warped rear rotors.

No, I just installed the brake pads. May I need to put new rotor for the rear. Thanks

If you are feeling pulsing in the seat of your pants/brake pedal and not the steering wheel chances are it's your rear rotors. check out ate slotted rotors though tire rack. i just put these on and so far no warping. good luck
