Yes you need to lube the frame where the pads ride. I am not familiar with Palinga rotors, I'd use a good solid German rotors in place of the drilled or slotted ones.

The rotor manufacture is implying you have a pad or pads that are dragging and heating up the rotor. That is possible but the majority of brake vibration I have seen is transfer of pad material to the rotor, this will make it feel like a warped rotor but it's actually the pad "catching" on the material that was transferred to the rotor. The only way to make sure the problem is solved is to start from scratch and do not use any of the bedding in processes for the brake pads. Bedding in the pads usually does more harm that good and will not actually bed in the pads. Pads take sever hundred miles or more to actually make full contact with the rotors. Running around slamming on the brakes and heating them up over and over does nothing but heat cycles the system.

Good Luck
