Default vibration in brake pedal

im getting a slight vibration in the brake pedal, during light braking. my pads are new and so are the rotors. The vibration started well after i replaced everything. Under hard braking the vibration isnt there, but my front drivers side locked up slightly. I dont feel that i applied enough preassure to lock them up , so i thought that was a problem. Any sugguestions?

Have you replaced all 4 rotors? If the car is vibrating, but not the steering wheel its your rear rotors. How is your tire balance?

all the rotors have been replaced, and the car is balanced fine. the vibration seems to come only at light braking.

did you tighten the wheels when the car was on the ground or off the ground? ...are your wheels cocked which casues a vibration?

...just a thought....
