I had a similar problem on my Ford GT it turned out that the break in did not transfer a consistent amount of pad material to the brake rotor. I ended up replacing both the rotors and pads and then carefully following the break in procedure. This made sure that pad material was deposited on the rotor evenly and I did not have a stick slip condition on the rotor. There is another possible condition known as "thick Thin wear" of the rotor where the brakes pulsate because the rotor has thin and thick spots around the circumference. You have to mic the rotor every inch or so around it's circumference to find this condition. It was common on Ford Trucks and some passenger cars in the 1990's and caused by aggressive pads and slight run out over time.
