Few days ago I did my front discs/pads (raybestos professional grade discs and akebono pro-acts) and now I'm getting worse vibration at 60kph+ and when I'm going down a hill. Car also pulls to the right (worse alignment than before) when I let go of the wheel.
Pretty sure my rotors are seated correctly. First chance I get is to check lug torque but they're not loose. How important is it to torque all the caliper bolts to specs? I did the exact same job in the rears and ran them problem free for a week. Don't know if this makes a diff but the brake fluid was a bit over max line in the reservoir after I pushed the caliper pistons back. Tire pressure is good just a week ago. What else could be a culprit? Wheel weights? I was told to put back my old rotors to see if the new problem goes away.

when your braking, does the pedal pulsate or the pedal and steering wheel? if its just the pedal, most likely your rear rotors, if the steering wheel shakes, then its your front rotors or does it only shake when your driving
did you clean the hub when you put on the new rotors?
