    I placed them on a flat surface and it teetered. Had them turned and the shimmy went away.

      Looks like they were warped....replaced driver side caliper, new front rotors/pads, shimmy is gone!

        Do you drive hard? It could be mounded bedding on your rotor. Also, did you break in your brakes properly? What happens is if you get your breaks really hot and come to a complete stop, part of your pad actually melts to your rotor (this is what makes the bedding or the friction area on your brakes.) someone else mentioned this, but chek the runout on your rotors with a dial indicator and if it is just mounded bedding, you'll be able to put your rotors on a lathe and possibly take it off. It's all part of a routine brake job to let you know this if you take it in and get it done right.
