1995 New Yorker rear brake grind

Hello All. I have a 95 NYer with about 173,000 miles (about 45,000 on new pads and rotors), and a weird problem. When I am slowing to a stop, the rear brakes sound like I'm on the rivets only when the trans finally goes to first gear. I haven't noticed it though in low speed stop where the trans doesn't need to downshift. I intend to pull the rear wheels and inspect the pads and rotors. Is there anything else I should look at in lieu of this noise? Is this a normal problem? Also, any rotor brand recommendations? After replacement at the dealer, the front would shimmy while slowing down past 40 mph. The dealer said to see if they wear in OK. They didn't. I took it back after 1 month and they replaced them again. Same problem. I decided to live with it. I replacement the wheel bearing assembly on the left, and lower ball joint on the right, which helped some. I'd heard that Chrysler stock rotors are cr@p.

Thanks

Chico

My dealer did brakes on my 94 LHS when I had it and recently on my 99 300M. Turned rotors on both cars and there were no vibrations at the pedal thereafter. I asked about new rotors but dealer said mine were thick enuf to turn.
