Vibration when stopping.
#2
there is a possibility its the caiplers, when i had the same problem it was bad calipers, the slide pins were seized and the caliper couldnt float normally and it warped my new rotors before they were a year old.
if the hub was damaged by over tightening the lugs unevenly and warped it that would make sense, not sure if that would cause a vibration while driving or not.
if the abs is activating that could make the pedal vibrate as it pumps the brakes, is the abs light on?
i supposed if a suspension part/bushing is worn really bad it could cause that
other than that not sure, one of the techs on this site will be able to help you more

Did you clean the rust off the hub bearing? If the old rotors were rusty and the rust stuck to the hub bearing this will **** the rotors at an angle and cause the same symptom as a bad rotor.
I just found this, I found it by searching the name of the tool I use. I have never installed a set of rotors without using this of something like it. The one I have in my tool box is a different design but it is 20 years old. Torqueing the wheel in the correct pattern to the correct torque is critical to rotor life. At one point GM said over torqueing wheels was the number one cause of rotor warpage.
