Take to a 4 wheel allignment place,
£50 to set up castor, camber, and toe, which are what makes up your tracking!

Id say you have warped the discs possibly, on my old 2ltr brakes i was doing over 100 when a fiesta pulled out, i locked up and after that for about 100 miles i had a vibration, even worse when braking! But they soon stopped after a while
