Thanks for using JA,
A couple of things. I have seen when you buy new rotors sometimes they should be cut because they get bounced around. The next part is yes your rear rotors could be warped causing a vibration. I would check this first before going into the abs system. Also check your tires to ensure they are cupped, feather or any bubbles.
please let me know what you find
thanks msgtperrin
