Question Brake issues

When ever I come to a stop I feel an intermittent pulsation going on. Is this from worn pads or can be warped rotors?

Uneven pad deposits on the rotors.

You can perform several hard stops from 50 thru 80mph to a slow roll (without coming to a complete stop between braking sequences) to see if you can re-bed the pads in and clear the rotor of the uneven deposits. You can also have the rotors machined if there's enough meat on them still.

This could be the reason since I did a track weekend two weeks ago. Though I think I will have to rebed with my track pads. I don't think the stock material can overcome the stronger track material on the rotor.

Re-bed with the track pads to clean the rotor. Then bed in the street pad.
