I also wondered about flat spots on the tires, but figured it would do it all the time, not just when braking.

Any ideas/suggestions before I start ripping things apart ???

Did the car sit outside? possible that the pads fused to the rotors a bit? Happened to me when my G35 sat out for ~2 months without being driven. Ended up needing new rotors/pads
