There had been a vibration on steering wheel when applying brakes. I ordered Brake Pad Set Hawk http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/se...66F681&submit=
and
Brake Disc EBC
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/se...SR7087&submit=

I took it to a regular auto shop and paid the labor to install it.

After replacement, there is still a vibration (much smaller than before). So, I took it to a dealer. They suggested me to resurface the rotor and replace the brake pad with the Manufacturer part or replaced both rotor and brake pads.

I don't think the resurfacing is necessary because it's brand new.

I contacted the parts seller and they asked me to check the brake pad is defective. I can't swap out break bad and test to see if it works. If it still doesn't then replace the rotor because the dealer would charge me so much money for the labor for doing such jobs.

I don't know what's the best option for me.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I don't thin

Are your wheels properly balanced? Find a load force machine.

did you "bed in" your pads and rotors??? alot of vibration after installing new rotors and pads are because of unbedded pads in some cases..here are some read

Thanks for the reply. I did not know about this "bed-in" theory.

Very good to know. But I drove for about 200 miles already, and it said it may require up to 500 miles in some cases.

Unfortunately, I had already agreed to replace to rotor and pads and hopefully I could return it to the autopartswarehouse.com

Thanks for the help. I appreciated it.

Fronts only?

Have you tried putting the front tires on the rear to see if the vibration still exists?

Check your front compliance bushings. If they are torn they magnify any wiggle in the front wheels which feels a lot like warped rotors.
