on second thought, im thinking one of your rotors is warped, due to the
shimmy you say you feel. might be a stuck caliper? have you tried
bleeding the system and flushing the fluid?

non-OEM pads are often a bit noisier than OEM. thats what you get in
return for saving a few bucks. to me, a little noise doesnt bother me.
