98Dakaz,

Just verified everything, Pads are in place correctly. I do have double pistons calipers. Verified those also. None of them is sticking.

TomA,
Now that you mentioned, I did rotate the tires the same day I did the brakes. Could be that one of the back tires, now mounted in the front, is causing the vibrating problem?
Thanks for the input.

00DakDan,
No I did not do the bake brakes. Drums in the back.

It's certainly possible. I've seen irregular treadwear cause similar problems, even though it wasn't obvious at all just by looking at it.

Don't rule out one of the drums being out of round too.

Default things to check

Rotors were they a discount brand a no name ebay brand?

That may be your problem you may need to have them checked out?

They may need turning even new could use a light turning if the part sat on a shelf for a year or more.

Are the rotors slotted and drilled? Are the pads the ceramic ones and are they a good name or some no name brand?

I have never use the slotted or drilled rotors but is there a left and a right side and you cant change them L for L and r for r if you know what I mean.
