Brake pulsation ... possible causes??

I am reading about alot of peeps with brake pulsation concerns and have 2 questions to ask.
#1 Did you have new wheels installed or a rotation performed within the last few thousand miles before it started?
#2 Do you have a tendency to "race" brake into turns?

Please answer truthfully.
thx -- SS

1. I had a rotation, but more than a few thousand miles before problem.
2. I don't know what you mean by "race" brake, if you mean hitting the brakes harder than the average driver, then yes. A lot of high speed braking might contribute to the problem. My rotors are in horrible shape. I had them turned at 30k miles, and I'm now at 39k and they're worse than ever.
