depends how they heat up and how they are worn... ie: if they are significantly thinner than your current pads, they may not drag (or drag as much) and not cause the rotors to heat.

Does it do it all the time / everytime, or only after they warm up? Does it matter how hard you press the brakes (does it get worse if you press harder or does it only start after a certain amount of pressure)? Any residual vibration not under braking?
