Warped rotors. If they're not past the point of no return, get them turned by a professional, if not, you can get a set of OEM replacement Brembos for $40 each.

Very very quick job to DIY.

pulsating feeling when braking = warped rotors.
either the person who machined it messed up or your rotors were warped from the beginning.

like what he said. $40 bucks for a new one. easy swap
