help?

Not sure if I put this in the right section but didn't see if anywhere else fit.
Anyway having issues with my brakes and rotors. It shudders when I lightly brake at high speed but if I put a little more force it stops. I put some pads on about a year ago and never bedding in the pads. So now the wheel shudders and when I am driving around town and lightly braking my brakes squeel like hell.
So basically I'm trying to figure out if the issue was not bedding in the pads or do I need to change the pads and rotors. I just got new rotors because these are pretty much shot I had to have them turned before and now I have this brake issue which I'm sure caused uneven wear.
Thanks guys
Davis

Warped disks would judder all the time while on the brake, not just at light pressure. Most likely is uneven pad transfer layer, or some grease but doubt it.

What brake pads do you have?

I have the project Mu pads rears and the brembo fronts. That's what I was thinking it's uneven wear from the pads but I'm not sure whats the squeeling coming from. I'm thinking it's just time to switch it all out?

Where is the car shaking? If the shake is in the steering wheel then its almost definitely either warped rotors, or thickness variation in the rotors. I've had the same problem with my car. I'd say either deal with it until your due for pads again, and do rotors. If you can't deal with it, I'd get new pads and rotors. I wouldn't suggest getting the rotors turned to try and solve this...
