bad rotors?

i was on the highway today goin about 90 and had to brake a little sudden and whoa! car shuddered loike a ****...sometimes it seems to wobble a bit when im slowing down at low speeds 2, its weird, almost like the wheels r wobbling...isnt this a sign that i need new brake rotors? if so can any1 recommend some that aint 2 spensive? i just want the slotted front and regular rears, dont want anything fancy...good job
p.s. if u want u can tell me 2 search cause its late and im lazy so i didnt (replacing valve cover gaskets is hard! my girly hands r all messy now )

Vibration when braking is due to warped rotors. You need to get them resurfaced.

Is your alignment off? I would have your rotors checked, but you should also have your front end suspention checked, your alignment, and your steering. If it's shaking when your not braking too than that is more likely your problem.

yep yep
sounds like your rotors
time to get the resurface or get yourself a set of brembo
last i checked, there were around 120 per set at ebay, but i sure there are cheaper prices around.
