If you are having repeated issues with the brakes shaking you need to make sure they are installed correctly, A rotor installed with just a few thousandths of run-out will quickly wear flat spots on the surface causing it to start shaking again in short time.

Basically if run-out is not checked and corrected when the rotor is installed it's not being done correctly and ANY rotor will do the same thing eventually.

Nissan rotors are actually pretty good and few aftermarkets compare to the quality.
They turned them twice. The third time I replaced them with the Z1 slotted per my above post. They wore in evenly as best I can see. Shaking again, ever so-slightly a few hundred miles later, now. I think it's the crappy pads and am replacing them, per my above post, again. They said they were glazed and shaved them and it made a huge difference, when they did the Z1 rotor install.
