Usually you should replace or turn them both instead of one of each. Sometimes....and this is a very BIG sometimes....rotors are produced with "hard spots". It happens when the metals in the rotors aren't quite blended fully so you get a spot on the contact surface of the rotor that doesn't act the same when the pad meets it. It causes a pulsing sort of stop. If the rotor is new sometimes it can take a few hundred miles for it to smooth out. Just give it time to burnish and don't stop too hard for awhile. Most likely that's not the problem but it could be. Just a thought.
