vibration whilst braking

so my front rotors and pads were wearing down quite a bit and there was quite the amount of shakiness and vibration going on while i was putting pressure on the brake pedal. i had the rotors and pads all replaced and the braking has definitely been improved by a great deal but i still get some vibration. at times, it is worse than others. any suggestions?

hard to tell. It could be something simple like a tire out of round or something complex like suspension problems.

Rotate and balance the tires and see how that affects it. If it makes it better or worse then you have a tire/wheel problem. If it is unchanged then you may have a brake/suspension problem.

ill try that stuff with the tires. i get it at all speeds. sometimes its a little less at lower - normal speeds but it will always happen at higher speeds.
