lately, when i am going 70-80 mph, the steering wheel virbates and when i brake at any speed, it feels like that the brakes are pulsating. (not smooth at all) Also when i brake there is virbation in the steering wheel. Now I think that i know the problem but i want you guys opinion. thanks...

that's what i thought, so should i just get the rotors resurface and the pads? when i took a look at the rotors they felt alright. not smooth but not ridges in it. but the vibration is from warped rotors right?

the vibration when going about 70-80mph is most likely from unbalanced tires. If you haven't balanced your tires for a while go ahead and balance them regardless. That should fix the vibration problem. As for vibration when braking it is your rotors needing resurfacing. You dont necessarily need new pads also
