probably ur discs r warped, will need new ones.

Take off the front wheels and run ur hand along the disc, or look for ripples and marks where the pads has been missing/jumping the disc..

Make sure you spend a little bit extra time bedding those new brakes in Icy. They are prone to warping if not correctly settled.
