Front end vibration during moderate braking?

I had another thread on here about a problem after I replaced my rotors which were getting moderately warped.

I replaced with Wagner rotors (front) and some Bendix CT-3 ceramic pads. Cleaned off the hub mating surfaces, cleaned the rotors and brake pad faces with some brake cleaner. Also used some synth grease for the slide pins and torqued everything back to spec. Torqued the wheels evenly with 95ft/lb also.

Went out did (10) 35-5 stops, and (5) 45-5 slightly harder stops as I've read. When I was done the rotor surface was a gray-blue color as I understand is showing that the bed-in temp was reached and transfer has begun.

Now, we took a trip on Friday night after I performed the rotor swap on Friday afternoon. From near St Louis to near Cincinatti and came back today.

Now when doing some braking like coming off the interstate on an off-ramp and braking, I'm getting a very deep , but not too loud vibration and I can feel it slightly in the steering wheel and the brake pedal..

New pads, new rotors, greased slide pins, everything torqued correctly.. What should I be looking at now?

thank you for any help

thats what my prob is now, but im about to change those things, sounds like if you did everything correctly than maybe its a caliper issue?

I'm going to pick up some rear rotors rather than having them machined.. Oreilly has them for about $15 a pop, versus 10 each for working them over. I'm not sure where to go with the fronts however. I think the calipers are ok, as even from a higher-speed stop the car never pulls or anything. Very straight line braking.
