Font brake pads

So I need to replace my front brake pads, I will do it myself since I am working in a service for motors and I have all the tools and space.

My only issue/question is that sometimes after changing front brake pads, it can happen that the car starts to vibrate when braking. This is due to non sync pads and discs.

So how can I be sure that I will buy/order a right pads, the one that will not vibrate?

I live in Germany so I have a big variety of selection (brands)

I always check the run-out my my rotors. 20-30% are poor right out of the box and need a turning.

I have a spastic leg, and don't like the great bite of stock pads.

I even tracked my car, but for street I like ceramic pads.

They last longer, have less dust, and I can feel them touch rotor without slowing until I put pressure on them.

In other words great modulation. If rotor was gonna pulse it should do it before the new pad slap. I use pads to clean up the rotor, and if they don't try to bed them in hard.

Pulsing is usually due to warped rotors or stick guides. MAJE sure you clean and grease the guides. Normally has nothing to do with the pads
