I'm impressed. My rotors were slightly warped but lots of pads left after 65,000kms.

65000kms and you're changing your pads already? :eek:
Did you have to change your rotors?
Judging by your pic, they should last at least 100k miles (~161,000kms)

Ya, I had already bought the parts... based on information from another forum, it looks like the pulsation is caused by brake dust residue on the rotors not by the rotors being warped. The resolution was to go to a aftermarket pad (which generated more dust) but resolves the pulsation (because the dust ends up on the rims instead of stuck to the rotors).
