Wow. I will get them and put them in for sure sometime this week. Thank you!

Update - Last night I had an emergency stop from 50 MPH to about 15 MPH just after leaving the shop that did my new front brakes. I only drove about 3 miles when I had to stomp on them hard. Darn near locked em up.

I drove this morning and no sign at all of the vibration! Too odd. Maybe my brakes are well seated now? LOL who knows but I will get the rear shims in just in case.

Thanks!

+1 on getting the shims.

I swapped the pads and that worked, 30minutes.
Shims=permanent fix. Remember to have youre mech put them back on next time new pads is in need.

I wish I'd seen this thread sooner. Definitely a shim fix. As said, you can flip the pads inside/outside on each wheel and fix as well for probably 6 months
