braking reflects a warped rotor condition, as a once around pulsation of the
pedal, or whether braking action has been smooth, indicating true rotors.
If the former, you may want to have the rotors trued/turned, or if not bad
just put up with a minor inconvience.  If the latter, you most probably need
do nothing with the rotors.  A little wear ridge on the rotors will require
a short break in period for the new pads, but no problem.  If you decide to
replace rotors, be aware that there are two different non-interchangable
versions, the break point being at VIN# -MN 005 557, the difference being
the rotor to hub locating fastner.

The Bently for this car shows you how to remove the rotor and change the
pads.  A simple job which is easy to figure out without the Bentley.

If I can be of further help, ask.
