It's not a vibration or ABS, just a modulation in stopping power up and down.

I noticed this started when I swapped my rear brake pads from EBC yellow to OEM spares for the winter and took out my BP10 fronts to check them and found they still had enough life left so I just put them back in. I was going to swap them but I had issues getting the pistons to go back in so I let them go.

I am of the impression that warped rotors/uneven brake pad deposits usually result in vibration when braking, not this pulsing brake modulation that I am getting.
Just mentioned this to a friend of mine, upon describing the problem, he suspects that I need to bleed my brake lines. I suspect this is a good idea because I've noticed recently that I also have a fair amount of dead pedal travel.
