Thanks guys I am going to check the fronts out and re-torque carrier brackets and guide bolts but the pads might not be totally bedded just yet. I also didn't realize that I should avoid holding the brake at stops during the break-in/bedding period for the first 200-300mi (however I was aware of this during bedding procedure). I guess this can warp the rotors and make them uneven from the heat. So I will try to put in N and use the e-brake at stops and avoid hard braking for a little while. I thought everything was set after doing the initial bedding procedure. There is still some residual zinc shit on it as well - but its obvious that both sides are compressing and scraping it off. Also checked that there are no kinked lines and no flluid leaking from the calipers or brake lines. Hopefully everything will get situated if it's not already. I'll be worried about it if its still doing this after the initial break-in period is over. I guess it's a good sign that there is no jerking/shimmying/wobbling when doing light breaking on the streets.

Won't hurt to check brake fluid level as well, perhaps I am low.
