get the rotor cut is my first thought... the second is double check your work for loose stuff, like a wheel.

Why would it matter if the floating pins are lubed? He's on the brakes when he feels the pulse not when off the brakes.

Yeah just when I slow down it pulses a little. I thought it was the rotors since the last set were cut to give me a little more time, but they were all replaced along with the brake pads. Could it be a through a wheel balancing weight? But wouldnt I feel it when I drove all the time? Calipers are ok..just mught have to check a few things over again.

cut = resurfaced. this is to ensure the face of the rotor is smooth and level for maximum efficiency.

But it still did it before the new rotors were put on.
