Everything suspension and bearing wise checked out fine. Alignment and balance fine.

I finally got all four rotors off and went to clean/hone them. After getting through the initial top layer of the buildup it was obvious it was more than just on the surface. All 4 rotors have distinct pad imprints on both sides of the rotor. I cleaned them up to the point where you could not feel any difference when sliding your finger over them it but they are still visible.

So I believe you were all correct! I'm running the stoptech street pads all around, and after doing some reading online recently it appears these are known to lay down heavier deposits than other brands. That plus the fact that I'm in stop and go traffic 90% of the time commuting to work and constantly sitting on the brakes at lights sometimes after emergency stops to avoid all the idiot drivers. So it's kinda like they were continually being 'partially' bedded in incorrectly.

I think I will just continue to run these until next summer and switch to a new brand all around. Hopefully I can afford something much better at that point.
