Hi, I recently put Wagner Thermoquiet pads on the front. Had the rotors resurfaced because there was a vibration at hight speed when stopping that shook the steering wheel. The new brakes stop great, no squeaking ( i did put the the coating on them ) but when you are stopped and begin to slowly release the pedal so the car just slightly moves, both sides make a lot of noise sort of a pulsating noise and actually send vibrations until the pads are free of the rotors. The new pads don't have shime, and the old ones won't fit because the backing is slightly differnt. I'm at a loss,, noise is really bad when you first drive, almost like it gets better when the pads heat up. Not sure what to do. You guy's ever experience this? I'm thinking might have to buy the OEM stuff, but there are pleantly of post with people using wagner and others.. Any advice would be very much appreciated...

Thanks

If you are 100% sure it is coming from the front, replace the rotors. They may have been machined beyond spec.
