Possibly warped rotor?

Symtoms, pulsing when im braking normally and it pulls to the left when im braking...i just changed the pads (bendix from rockauto) and had the rotors cut 4 months ago

Just to be clear... Rotors dont warp, but what your describing is likely an issue of ur pads (ceramic i guessing?) heating up under, more than likely, aggressive driving and leaving uneven deposits on ur rotors.

Get em machined and switch to a semi-metallic pad, or drive much more conservatively, it should go away.

why cut the rotors? our rotors are cheap as @!#$. that way you know you're starting with a good set of rotors.

our rotors are really too thin to be cut from the get go. add in the average time a j-owner would not change them, and they'll be toast. you can get rotors for our cars for LESS than what most place will charge to cut them.
