slight surging while breaking?

ok, i've noticed for the past few months that when i am breaking and am under 20 mph, if I keep the break pedal depressed the same amount there is a slight surging of the breaking. Like I am lightly pumping the breaks. Kinda weird.

I have rotora slotted rotors and axxis organic pads. I have several ideas of what it could be. Either teh ABS motor is jacked so it's not breaking properly, i have a warped rotor (I better not dammit, they're not even a year old), or it has something to do with the slots in the rotors, and is normal.

Sounds like a warped rotor, or your brake fluid is low

yep, I changed out the entire break system at once, then I found one of the rotora's to be warped right out of the box. Took them a month to replace it.

so I definitely did the break in process when I got the replacement. PRobably just the damn hills around here, or I splashed into a puddle of melting snow after I did some hard breaking. I'm just gonna go with some OEM replacements after this.

You should just get slotted not cross-drilled. The cross-drills are really only good for circuit racing... But the slotts will vent the gasses without getting wash-baithed and warped from rappid temporature changes due to water puddles.

does it feel like the brakes kick back when you get to around 10'ish mph too? Just wondering... mine do these all the time.
