Help - vibration when braking under high speed - 2010 E200 CGI

Hi, thank you in advance for all responses, they are much appreciated.

Vehicle
- 2010 E200 CGI
- AMG sports brakes (front cross-drilled)
- Mileage 118,000 kms or 73,000 miles

History
- Brake pads all changed in the past 3,000 kms or 2,000 miles (with aftermarket pads, not OEM pads)
- All brake discs have been skimmed
- The front right brake caliper was overhauled as it was leaking
- All suspension components were checked to be OK

Symptoms
- Braking from 80km/h or 50m/h is smooth
- Braking from 120 km/h or more (75m/h) is not smooth, I feel a vibration in the brake pedal and if I brake harder then I feel a vibration throughout the car

Advice
- Please advise as to what should I do?
- FYI - The mechanic advised to let the new pads wear-into the skimmed discs and then it will smoothen out as the new pads may be of a harder compound than normal pads.

Thank You

Renew your discs, pads will take shape of discs eventually but won't stop a judder on an out of true disc.
