Not everyone does it but when you do new brakes you should cut your rotors so the pads sit properly. Pull the rotors off and have them cut, should only cost $15-20.

Sounds like warped rotors, turn them and see what happens.

There's a TSB on the 04 Rotors. Check with the dealer first...

Agreed. Turning rotors gets rid of the lines or grooves that accumulate after long pad wear. If the peddle pulsates, then the rotors are usually warped causing the pad to ride up and down. I would also check the TSBs for the 04's, then look into the rotors for being warped.
