Default Brake pads and rotors

2018 Camry.. front brake pads and rotors put on in December. I drive a mountain daily and I do not brake hard, ride my brakes,etc. I gear down and brake gradually however the shimmy is back as if my rotors are already warped… after 2 months? I drove a 4Runner for years before this and never had this issue. Is it my car? Did the mechanic do something wrong? Faulty equipment? Looking for any and all advice as well as the best brake pads and rotors to replace these with… aaaagain

Shimmy when braking?

Did you break in the pads?

Were the brakes over heated?

Brembo makes good rotors. Use Toyota brand pads.

The rotors may not actually "warp." What can happen is brake pad material can build up unevenly on the rotors. The brake pad then does not have a consistent grip as the rotor turns.

Could be a loose suspension. Wheel bearing, suspension part.

I wonder about quality of parts here, were the parts from Toyota?
