Your brakes are fine today but your rotors as they wear with the new pads installed will not be able to dissipate the heat that is created by applying the brakes. Your daughter will feel pedal pulsations before the new brake pads are worn. Anybody who works on brakes for a living knows that rotors can cause a lot of brake problems. Uneven rotor wear (which may be due to excessive rotor runout or rotor distortion) often produces variations in thickness that can be felt as pedal pulsations when the brakes are applied. The condition usually worsens as the rotors continue to wear, eventually requiring the rotors to be resurface replaced. Rotors made today are not solid so turning them may not be option because they warp.
