Everyone thinks a pulse in their brakes is a warped rotor. Go out and bed your pads in again, and then let them cool. Tell me if the problem is solved. (almost certain it will be).

I've actually seen several sets of warped rotors come through our shop. Someone posted a thread awhile back about trying to get their warped rotors warrantied. Mitsu replied that they warped rotors are not a defect, but rather the result of off-road driving.

When i get set to track again, wow, don't ya know, still pulses. Take it out for 2-3 hard brakes, 80-30. Let it cool without hitting the brakes, and bam, ready to go, all extra pad compound removed, and ready for another track day.

- Rotora is made from parts sourced from vendors in Asia. It's also assembled in Asia. No one knows where the parts come from.
- Stoptech is made from parts sourced from vendors in Asia. It's ASSEMBLED in the USA. Their calipers are probably made by VTTR or some other vendor out of Taiwan (www.vttr.com.tw/)
Neither source parts from Japan. And there's a huge quality difference.
Might want to read the first two pieces in the following link.

Sanyco delivers raw caliper castings. StopTech does all finish machining (such as piston bores sized correctly for the application), assembly and test in California. StopTech tests every single finished caliper to 2800 psi using brake fluid on a special test bench designed by StopTech engineers.
