Best thing is to take off the wheel and rotor so that you can look at the pads. The wear pattern looks a little off. What are you using for pads?

actually a glazed rotor wont vibrate at all speeds

a warped rotor will

but either way time to swap rotors or have them machined. the pads will also need to be scrubbed and the glazing removed.

i dont remember exactly. PBR? rick should know, he recommended it to me a while while ago. keep in mind, these are the OEM rotors and have been resurfaced once already.

arrgh...i know that a glazed rotor doesnt cause vibration.

i was making another comment that the rotor is glazed also.

i've seen plenty of rotors that are warped, but dont vibrate at all speeds. 3 years of being a tire/brake shop monkey taught me that.
