Sounds like you need to true your rotors. New rotors are not necessarily true and the hub mount may also not be perfectly flat. If your rotors are straight you shouldn't need to do all that regularly. In fact sanding the pads and rotors constantly is making the problem worse because you need to re-bed them each time. Either that or something is crooked like the mounts or the hub has play
