vibration when stepping on brakes

before I bring my car to the dealership for service I noticed that around 60 mph when i step on the brakes the car has some vibration till about 40-50 mph. I am concerned that it might be the aftermarket rotors that I have put in. Has anybody had this problem before?

Sounds like a case of potato chip rotors for sure. When was the brake job done?

It is definitely rotors. Never put aftermarket rotors when you do brake job...only original.
