No bro, not normal. Glad the procedure worked well, but it sounds like you've either got a seized caliper (check rears first) or a bad booster. To check the rear calipers for the seize slide pin, remove caliper from hub (keep fluid line intact) and see if you can push the outer portion inwards towards the cylinder. If it doesn't move at all, then its bad. I had to replace BOTH rear calipers on my 350 a few months back; and now its like a totally different car under braking.

There was a recall on the 2006 is250 for this reason. I wonder why they did not extend the recall to other years? It was due to the master cylinder slowly leaking fluid.

solved! 3 brackets were seized and were properly regreased and put back on.
new problem: now when I lightly press on the brakes below 10mph I can feel the car pumping and almost bucking back and forth (like extreme abs movement).

The pulsating might be from uneven pad wear during the time when the calipers were seized up.
