If the pistons in your calipers are sticking the rotor will get really hot after driving.Your car won't roll freely either,and your car will feel really slow(like driving with the brake on).
If you have vibration in the pedal when braking there may be crud on the hub behind the rotor.Did you replace the rotors yourself? If so were the pistons easy to push in when you put the new pads in?I always scrape off all the rust and use a lot of brake parts cleaner.I like to use new hardware as well,it's only $5 for both front brakes.
