Okay DIY is good. Have you done a brake job before?

A couple of things. Taking the calipers off is basically two bolts. And taking the caliper holders is two more bolts. Taking off the rotors can be an issue. I would get some liquid wrench. There are two phillips screws that hold the rotors on and they get rusted and are a pain in the ass to get off. If you have an impact wrench that would be best but be patient, these can take some time to get off and you can strip them if you aren't careful.

Here is a good DIY on the brake bleed. http://forums.s2kca.com/showthread.php?t=15341

I can't feel it I don't think. I just feel the regular pulsing brake from the abs.

I don't feel it in the steering wheel though. Is that weird to not feel it when the rotors are in fact warped?

if you feel pulsing, whether through the steering wheel, the pedal or the entire car...it's not "regular". braking should be smooth and firm.

go have your rotors turned (or replaced) and get new pads, it's normal maintenance.

Yeah I think I am going to do a full brake job shortly. Never done it since I've had the car and put over 35k miles since I've had it. Who knows when the previous owner replaced anything either. So I would say it is due!
