That's the first time I've heard anybody mention the variations in grip as the rotor goes 'round as it relates to wanting soem hydraulic give... makes sense. I'm planning on checking the runout and re-indexing the front rotors on one of my cars because of that pulsing, and the SS lines may be why it's so noticeable.

As to the 2nd snippet above, some of us drummer-types may take umbrage at that assertion
