The first thing I would check or do would be to remove the rotors and check their condition. If they have enough surface left, have them turned to get them true again. If they can't be turned, then replace them with new (which should also be turned or at least checked .The most common cause of pulsating brakes, I have found, are warped rotors. This is usually caused from overheating.
