Braking vibration usually means your brake rotors have run out, more commonly known as being warped. Depending on how much material is still left on them they may be able to be resurfaced. If they do not have enough material they will need to be replaced. Change the pads while you are in there.

Centric rotors are the same as StopTech rotors. In fact centric owns stoptech and makes all their rotors. You can get centric plain rotors through rockauto.com for great prices. They have a coating on the hats and on the edges to help prevent rusting. Great rotor great price - can't beat it. These are the same rotors R1 Concept sells for much more.
