Default what does it mean when my car does this??

when i am at highway speeds...maybe 50+ mph, and i suddenly tap or use the brakes, my steering wheel vibrates really hard for the first 5 or so seconds. :dunno:

its annoying.

rotors are warped, need to be resurfaced if they have enough thickness remaining.

if they are warped you should be able to get the sensation at all speed (pretty much).

well the vibrating is only felt at higher speeds. but at other times, the brake pedal feels very mushy and harsh. and at time, during a complete stop, i can hear some metallic grinding sounds. i still have a lot of pad left, but the rotor surface looks a little funny. here let me take a pic.

Anything funny looken or feeling funny on rotors or pads is bad, recomend replace with brembo blanks with axis metal masters. Your option if u want the blanks slotted or drilled from a tunner shop.
