As for the handbrake test,I'm pretty sure I did that a long time ago. I don't really see the relevance as the two are independent and it only does it with foot pedal pressure.its also intermittent.very hard to repeat consistently. But the handbrake pads do keep wearing? I have return springs on the arms now,but maybe not enough.i keep having to adjust them?
Rotors are centred.
I'm going to bleed them again this weekend and see if that helps.i will be looking into the ebc Reds soon.
Cobra3170- interesting,that's kindof what the brake guy was saying.im not sure if the sensation you had was pulsating due to material build up or more like mine and being a high pitch chatter.i don't get any pedal feedback.
But another thing to look into all the same.
I did record it yesterday but too much background noise was picked up.will try again today.
Ok.thanks guys.

Did not feel it in the pedal just vehicle shudder with the rotor contamination problem. I did change to a different pad material when I switched rotors though, used carbotech pads. The stick slip occurs at a constant pressure so pedal does not pulse. You could actually see where pad material was unevenly deposited on the rotor in my case because there were dark and light spots. You can usually feel thick thin wear in the pedal so you are right that probably isn't it.
