Sounds like warped rotors ?? How many miles ?? Pads replaced / rotors turned ??

I dont turn my rotors anymore just seems to kill them, I run them until they exibit the symptoms you are describing and then replace them.

OEM rotors or drilled+slotted rotors? Ceramic pads?

I don't think you have a rotor issue if it's doing it at idle. Warped rotor symtoms appear while you are stopping not at idle. If you feel vibration coming from you peddle at idle, that could be caused by various reasons. You need to give a little more detail on the exact condition. Does your tach show that your idle is fluctuating, does your engine shake etc. Any other information will help. Did you have this problem prior to doing your break job?

Usually when you experience vibration on idle & in gear is because of your motor mount.
