Not all pedal pulsation is due to warped discs. Somethimes pads overheat and can cause deposits on the rotor that will grab with every time it spins. Grease oror goocan create a a similar effect.

Maybe try to clean up the disc first.

And if you end up needing, IIRC F4/F4i rotors are the same. But check the part #'s to be sure before you buy.
