Do some troubleshooting before you throw parts at the problem. Steering wheel shimmy is gonna come from warped rotors or worn steering parts, loose/bad wheel bearings. Check everything out to pinpoint your problem, you might save yourself some cash.
I just picked up Delco brake parts for decent prices from the link below.

I agree, it's not unheard of to get warped rotors new in the box.
