    Is it the pedal pulsating, or is it the body vibrating?
    I did brakes on my GTP 25,000 mile ago and still smooth.
    I bought the better pads and rotors from Rockauto.com.
    They cost a little bit more but are still smooth.
    I also agree with aboove, driving style does have a part
    to play when it comes to brake wear and tear. Now I am
    not totally easy on my brake either, I like to lay into them hard
    once and a while to see how they are grabbing if I need the
    extra stopping power.

    Being that the car has a little age on it, another thing to consider is the rubber hoses going to the calipers. The rubber over time does come apart inside and this will act like a partial check valve. It can heat up rotors and cause warpage. Usually hoses are about $12 a side.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
