Default Braking Headshake Prob

I get a nasty headshake/vibration under braking. Doesn't have to be hard breaking but it's exponential, in that the harder I brake, the more prominent the issue. Anyone experienced this before?

Your Front Rotors are probably warped. Nice time to upgrade to slotted or drilled Rotors

Now how the hell would that happen? Not that I mind an excuse for a performance upgrade!

High temps, going through puddles when rotors are hot, age, quality, etc.

i have the same problem right now as well, except my steering wheel shakes when i brake from 60-45, nothing less. you guys still think its the front rotors?

i was actually going to upgrade to a cobra brake kit with slotted/drilled rotors.

hopefully this helps.
