It really sounds to me that the rotors are warped. Consider picking up a fresh set of rotors. Don't buy the AutoZone cheapies. You'll get what you pay for. I suggest going to Napa. Get a fresh set of pads too. It'* not wise to run used pads on new rotors.

Little bit o background.
The reason rotors warp are either excessive heat or the material remaining is too thin and the heat warps them.
For either reason turning or resurfacing (removing material) will only result in excessive heat and more warping.
Here'* a link that shows the difference in rotors.
