wheel shudder under braking?

Recently I have noticed that under braking that the steering wheel shudders. Anything more than a light pressure on the brake pedal makes this happen. The one thing that i can think of is warped rotors. Any feedback and opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Just stock rotors. Should I replace them with more stock rotors, or should I get something aftermarket?

Stock rotors = :thumbsdow
Cross drilled/slotted to avoid rotors that will warp too easily. Don't forget new pads. Search for the threads on pad/rotor opinions.

The problem with new pads is that the ones on now dont even have 1000 miles on them. I just bought the car a month ago and i had them replace the pads. I have a three month 50/50 warranty with the dealership also.

Maybe there's something funny happening with the new pads? It'd be strange to be warped to that degree that quickly, no?

My rotors are shot also. They are stock rotors that have been on the car since 1999. I noticed coming to a stop the steering wheel would shake massively.

Just get new rotors and brake pads. Problem solved!
