Pads does not cause vibrations - to my knowledge mind you. Unevenly wear rotors does (warped).

How much sanding have you've done on the hub? If you've removed material on those hubs, then they are now out of tolerance. Best just to clean those things with a brush. You can check your hub run-out with a new rotor installed and a magnetic dial indicator held on the caliper. Run-out shouldn't exceed 0.05mm for a 'performance' set-up. Just asking this because 0.05mm is pretty easy to achieve with #100 grit sandpaper.

But I'm sure you wouldn't have done that anyway. You can also check for rotor wear/warping using the same dial-indicator technique.
