Brake Vibration

This has been happening for the last two weeks and I want to run it by people to see what it is. When I’m slowing down from about 20-30 miles to a stop I can feel the front end of the car shacking and as soon as I let go of the brake pedal it goes away. I changed the pads about 8k miles ago and the car has been fine till about two weeks ago.
Is it my rotors?

Yes, it is your brake rotors. Have them turned. Also, if your rims weren't put on properly and if the lugs weren't tightened down properky, then that's a possibility too.

It sounds like your rotors are warped. I had the same problem, I bought some Brembo OEM replacement rotors from Tire rack for like $45 and it went away.
