Same thing happens to me, but im on the stock rotors.

I lost my license for 4 months, so the car was rarely driven. Then i broke my ankle and that was another 4 months it wasnt driven. I didnt even start it one month.

I know something has to be wrong with either my rotors or brake pads. i took it in for inspection and the guy said everything was fine. He said i may need brakes next year?????

Check to see if the rotors are warped - it was ebay after all.

Did you bed the brakes too?

ye sounds like your rotors are warped. they just need to shave em, cut em even. you gotta go to a good brake shop for that though
