I'm not having any trouble at all with my TJs on stock pads. Can't remember the make, they were what the factors sent! And as you know, I don't hang about either!
Around 13k miles since I fitted mine and i'm just now thinking about a new set of pads. I will buy something decent, but not 1144s, why spend more when it doesn't appear necessary?
I too am not sanguine about drilled/grooved discs and regard them as "snake oil" for suckers. Any improvement generated (and i'm not convinced there IS any) is too small to notice!
As to your vibe problem, i'd like to see it before I pass judgement! It's POSSIBLE it could be a disc, but generally speaking, once warped, a disc will not recover, not ever! I've seen similar sorts of unwanted vibes from duff inner track control arm bushes. Like I said, i'd like to see/feel it first!
