Why do you need calipers?! And what sensors? Rotors and pads don't have be purchased from the dealership. Check your local auto parts store. Although I would buy good name brand pads if I were you. HTH

Did you ignore the warning from the sensors? They're in there to alert you to a low pad thickness before it destroys the rotor. The shudder you feel when braking is probably warping or thickness variation in the rotors caused by uneven wheel torquing. If they're not significantly damaged they can be resurfaced by a competent repair shop. I'd recommend finding someone with an on-car brake lathe to refinish them, that will compensate for wheel hub runout and allow a perfectly true rotor. Save that mod money and get the brakes handled!
