I've never had this problem with pad deposit in automatic cars.
That may be it as it's my first automatic. It comes back pretty much no matter how careful and light I am. The heat lately and how bad traffic has gotten is very likely the culprit. I've driven in it for years though with a similar braking setup Mazdaspeed3 without issue so it's all just weird to me. I definitely have to ride the brakes in the Z though thanks to the automatic and traffic being slower than a first gear cruise. Luckily that's only an issue for about another month before my schedule changes.

I'll update once I check the brakes out. It's been like 100 in the garage so I'm happy with some shakin' for now lol.

It's super minimal shake now, more of just a rough feeling rotor, and feels more like buildup than warped after getting the wheels balanced. Dallas streets knocked my wheel weights off it seems
