Brake/rotors
Hi, I'm new to the site but can anyone help me with a braking problem I have. When I bought the car, I noticed under fast or slow braking, the car or brake pedal pulses. I recently bought brand new rotors on all fours but after they were broken in, it's starting to pulse again.

Three Q's:
1) Did you replace the pads along with the rotors?
2) Did you bed the pads in if they were replaced?
3) Did you service the caliper slides when you replaced the rotors and/or pads?

He's got it ^
I changed out slide pins, pads, rotors - all at once, and made sure everything was in proper working order.
Bada bing. It brakes well now.
By the way, there is an appropriate section for your specific topic of discussion.
Goodluck.

Pads and rotors are from EBC. I'm trying to avoid taking it to Lexus dealership and would be my last option but I wanted to see if I can troubleshoot this myself with some help.
