You're either driving with your foot constantly on the brake pedal as well as the accelerator, or the brakes are not releasing properly, or you're fitting rubbish discs/pads.

How do you know they're warped?

Vibration when braking can be caused by a lot of different things. Could be dodgy pads, warped discs, hubs etc. 

Also, are you bedding the brakes in?

Ensure the disc to hub face is scrupulously cleaned...

As ^ above, but also it is good practice to check the disc run out with a dial gauge, and then turn the discs on the wheel studs till the lowest run out figure position of the five posible positions is found.

I found that he disc runout was way outside of the .035mm permitted runout, it turned out it was due to the disc/hub mating faces not being clean enough - Tiny hot spots of corrosion were enough to cause the issue.
