Default HELP 2001 IS300 vibration problems

Hey everyone I have a problem that I just cant figure out. It's on 2001 Lexus IS300, I just put on all new rotors, pads, front calipers, and tires. When I'm driving faster than 45 mph I get a vibration in the steering wheel and when I brake it gets extremely worse. It takes a little bit for it to happen though, usually about 5 to 10 minutes of driving. When I first get going I have no problem but when everything starts heating up that's when I get the vibration. Happened right after I replaced the brakes but I went through them again and everything seems perfect. I've been to three different mechanics and they all say the brakes are great. I tell them my problem but I don't think any of them are actually heating up the components and actually feeling the problem. I just had the tires rebalanced and none of the rims are bent. Any suggestions? Bad wheel bearing? tie rod end? maybe bad rotors or caliper?
Thanks

Maybe whoever put the calipers on missed something? Warped rotors usually causes that. Even an alignment, Bushings. Also just cause you bought new pads and rotors. If you went cheap then that's your main cause always go for the best oem replacement or just oem
