Check suspension: Tires off ground: Grab tires and pull back and forth. Place a crowbar under tire and try to move up. You are checking outer tie rods and ball joints.

Did you clean the rotors of any protective oil?

When you replaced the pads was the caliper free to slide in/out on the pins?

Any vibration when not braking?

Are the tires worn?

tires good had them balanced and rotated before brake job.
all calipers sliding on pins, put brake grease on all moving parts and anti seize on all pins, no shaking when brakes not applied.

What brand of rotors and brake pads did you use? That could also be the culprit sometimes.
