Who did the brakes?
Have them checked for run out and were the rotors replaced and the brake pads bedded in properly?
Most likely cause improper torque of rims. Should be done in criss cross pattern and to 80 ft lbs. wrong torque on rims causes more warped rotors than any other item.
Get them checked.

Mechanic Did the JOB
Oh Lord
The rotors were not replaced, the mechanic did mentioned that the rotors had to be replaced the next time the brakes needed to be done. So if I replace the rotors for new ones, would this solve the problem?
Also what works better, regular rotors or drilled?
Thanks

Have him inspect the install
and retorque the rims.
Dimpled or slotted rotors for looks are fine.
Best performance cryo treated by places like diversified cryo or frozenbrake.
Drilled crack so steer clear of any drilled rotors.
Mechanic if he is good should be able to find the shimmy issue at speed.
Do them yourself next time
I have the dvd to follow along.

I have cryo
rotors on my web site email me from there. Or you can pick up very nice stock rotors plated from www.autohausaz.com
Cryo last longer brake better and better feel but the zimmermans from autohausaz.com are a good deal at 75 each
Cryo rotors are hand finished for fade free bedding of the pads and long life.
Still have your guy check out the wobble it could be an accident wating to happen if someone installed something wrong or forgot to tighten or over tightened some critical part(which in brake terms is everything
)
Pull the rims and retorque them to 80ft lbs.
1. NEVER USE AN AIR GUN TO TIGHTEN LUG NUTS OR LUG BOLTS!
2. Always use a click type torque wrench if possible.
