Yeah, it's been garaged for 2 weeks, I believe I did put her up wet, there is little bit of rust on the rotors. I did go for a spin to try to brake the rust off, but probably not long enough, or braking hard enough.

2 weeks isn't long- what we're talking about is radial runout, which is difficult to get 'perfect'. If ,after applying the brakes at highspeed (60 mph or greater) there is noticeable shake or vibration then you've got a problem. I think mechanics throw out a lot of perfectly good rotors and some believe they should do so whenever installing new pads. I'm no mechanic but come from the school of ' if it ainght broke, don't fix it'! The fact that you have the same 'problem' on all 4 rotors is significant.
