Just to let you all know, I have replaced all the brake pads and all is well. I checked the rotors for free play and they are in good shape.
Thanks to all for the advice.

I have an 05, I've had since new. I need much stronger brakes. Are their options? I'm buying another R3, to customize and add a turbo, so I know I'll need better brakes on that gem.
Just for general knowledge when it comes time to replace rotors, there are several aftermarket options for front rotors on the R3 that are available today. Most are a couple of pounds lighter, and made with high carbon Stainless, as well.
I just ordered a set of wave-cut rotors from Galfer - part number DF655+DF655 for a set of two.
