Recently I was driving at around 180 KMPH, and during braking the steering vibrated and wobbled very very heavily. The harder I braked the more violent the vibrations. So I went to a mechanic and he checked the brake system.

Apparently the brake pads, rotors, calipers etc are in OK-ish shape.
I want a second opinion from you guys. Any possible reasons for this if the rotors are fine ? What should I check ? Should I go to another mechanic ?

I had same problem caused by the wrapped front rotor replacing it works fine for me but you can replace front tires with rear ones to make sure I guess.

I agree that this is very symptomatic of warped brake rotors, especially if the vibration is only when braking.

Best and cheapest repair for this model is to have the rotors turned. There is a limit that should be heeded. Also slides and bracket should be inspected for rust inhibiting proper movement.
