Default Si brake problems

At higher speeds when I step on the brakes on my 00 si the pedal vibrates sort of like it has abs and the steering wheel shakes... Last time I looked at the pads they were worn unevenly, but still had lots of life left. I'm guessing the rotors are warped. What should I do have rotors machined or just get new rotors? Thanx

Probably be better (or cheaper) to just get new rotors.

time for new rotors....or have them turned, but as I have found thus far it is cheaper/easier just to buy new ones as opposed to turning them. I would also throw on a new set of pads while you are in there.

Ok, thanks a lot guys. I'm gonna get new rotors and definitely replacing all the pads... right now I'm running some bs metallic pads :ugh:... I'm looking at the brembo drilled and slotted rotors, had them on the eg and loved them, great stopping power, and some nice ceramic pads
