Sounds like your disks need machining as they're slightly warped.

Make sure its all bolted up straight and tight then. You can check the disk runout with a dial gauge if you can get your hands on one.

before you do that, go ove the surface of the iscs and the pads with emery cloth (or rough wetndry) and rebed the pads in properly.
the "warpage" feelign you get is 99% of the time just uneven transfer of resin from pads to the disc...
clean em off, rebed them to the pad manufacturer specs, (remember NOT to come to a stop while letting them cool)
and see how they are...
if it is still there, then check or disc runout.
if there is no runout, then it MUST be resin on the disc..
what pads are they? not EBC gren?

no, just that many ppl seem to have issues when they get them too hot, due to excessive resin transfer....
but if you use them they way they are intended, they are great pads i suppose..
