i just changed the brake pads on my 04 and am experiencing rough vibrations when braking at higher speeds.....obviously my rotors should have been replaced too. but i thought they looked ok and tried to get away with them for another cycle....
it look like ill have to do the whole job over again....including new rotors. do i need brand new pads also? i have only had the new ones on for a couple weeks. have the bad rotors f'd up these pads too already?
and....what about a big (not so much bigger as just better, ie: drilled/slotted rotors) brake kit..? without going a-spec ($issue) and changing the suspension, is there a good brake (rotors/pads) upgrade?
thanks for the help!! acurazine is the sh*t!!

from what ive heard people are swearing by rotora for the big brake upgrade.

The pads you have should be fine.

^ not if he will be replacing new rotors. Brake pads need to be deglazed against the new rotors for perfect match.

The the OP...how long have you been riding on these new pads?
The symptom you are describing are warped rotors, and yes, unfortunately turning them will yield temporary solution, you need to replace them...

I ran rotoras slotted w/ EBC Green, and I loved this combo.
