Centric Brake/Rotor install
Last week I finished installing the brakes and rotors below:
Centric Brake Rotor - Premium Rotor-Preferred
Centric Brake Pad Set - StopTech Street Performance Brake Pads
I ordered everything from partsgeek.com for a good price.
I noticed that i get a slight vibration while braking at high speeds. Seems like maybe the rotors might be warped, which is weird since they are new, but I have heard of this happening. Either that or something is not right.
The other problem, and the one that's bugging me the most, is that the brake feel when I press on the brake pedal seems like it's not smooth. I don't know how to perfectly explain it, but it seems like it's rough and I can feel the road while it's pressed. Not too bad, but still noticeable.
Any suggestions on what might have gone wrong or what I can do to check/fix this?

Did you bed the pads properly? If not, I suggest you do so.
because rotors, properly installed, don't warp.
