brake vibration

when my CL was in for ABC work last week I mentioned that there was a pretty bad vibration when braking hard and sometimes under light braking too.
My tires were shot and they told me it was tires, just got a new set of Mich Pilot super sports on it and the vibration is still there.
Going back to the dealer but anyone had any similar experiences?
Best example is at 70mph with reasonably hard braking (but not emergency) and the steering wheel has visible shake on it.

Any thoughts? was wondering if it could be ABS coming in a little? it doesn't feel like warped discs.

braking vibration is always either rotors or lower control arm/ radius arm bushings.

my guess is you need new front rotors (and pads)

thanks

yeah I would have presumed rotors, but whenever I have had a rotor issue in the past I feel like you can feel it even when feathering the brakes at low speed, basically feeling the unevenness. at the moment I get nothing.
but your other suggestions is something i'll have them look at too.

thanks.
