Default My Stoptechs have started humming/vibrating AFTER a hard stop, whose had this too?

I'm sure I've read posts about this. Get a humming and vibration after a hard stop which begins when I lift off the brake pedal. Can feel it through the car. Subsides when I reapply brakes or wiggle steering wheel about.Before you say "pad deposits" the rotors are clean and shiny, no problem cold only when hot.

Default pads may be sticking a bit

and as for the deposits, sometimes you cant 'see' them, but they are there, so dont rule that out if you have shuddering when youre on the brakes.

Default IMHO Axxis pads are exclusively for street use.

I have heard of multiple people trying to use Axxiss at the track and killing their rotors. I used Hawk 9012s to get my rotors cleaned up after using Axxiss. I presume that if you use them HARD on the street - you will have the same issues. Pad deposists on rotors. I decided to stay away from these.
