I had a Honda Accord one time that had warped rotors. When I used the brakes I would get a pulsing feeling through the brake pedal.

Just my observation but I feel that this is your problem.

First question is whether the "pulsing" or vibration started soon after you changed out the rotors & pads or sometime later. Next question is whether you properly bedded the new pads. I had a similar situation with my '05 some years ago (brake pedal "pulsing"). First thought it might be a warped rotor, but checked the runout on all four & all were OK. Then looked very carefully & found uneven deposits of pad material on the rotors. Scrubbed the rotors with Brake Kleen & fine steel wool; then rebedded the pads & all has been fine since then. You may have same situation.....I'm of the opinion that true warping of the rotors is rare unless you've been tracking really hard. And of course, I presume you're not feeling ABS action.
