Sounds like you have new rotors and pads correct? I replaced my fiance's brakes on her ES330 last summer and experienced a similar type of brake judder coming from the front end. The new rotors appeared to be smooth and braking power was still normal it was just the judder that was bothering me. What I did was jack the front end, quickly took it apart, regreased the sliding pins, metal contact points and the backing of the pads with a ton of grease, then reassemble. It seemed to correct the problem instantly. Good luck.
Btw, come on now, you spend good money and a few hours doing your brakes you couldn't spend another $4 and 20-30mins to bleed them with quality brake fluid? IMO EBC greens suck badly. Had them on my sister's Subaru 2.5RS. Never again lol.

the first time I did brakes I used hi temp grease with no problems. What you should use is a proper synthetic brake grease. Buy a tube if possible so you can use a good amount on the tabs, sliders and pad shims. The synthetic stuff is supposed to protect the rubber boot parts of the piston. That being said even the synth stuff has "petroleum distallates" so it's all practically the same.
As far as bleeding brakes, it's super easy. Look up DIY on it and have a partner to press the brake while you open and close the brake bleeder. Don't let the level drop below L. Takes less than 30mins if you're taking it slow. If you have more questions feel free to pm or ask.
