i was saying thats its not a matter of buildup on the rotors. The rears apear to be fine. It almost feels as if something is loose in the suspension/braking system up front. I know the bushings are probably not helping matters. I never said new pads or fluid would fix it. I said i was going to change the fluid and pads to higher quality stuff while im at it. The fact that i have a manualized PS rack probably adds to the vibration. its more in the pedal then the wheel.... well 50/50
I'd try that before you go out and throw a lot of money at bushings

+1 on replacing the front rotors first, and see if that solves the vibration. (almost 100% that it will).
For street, Zimmerman cross drilled are available from several sources and work well. If there's still a problem, then look for more complex causes.
"Mushy" suspension might exaggerate the vibration under braking, but would not cause it.

I had the same problem. Mine would drive fine but if you got the speed up it woul jerk the steering like you were on a rough road. Turns out it was a couple of problems, there was a bolt missing from one of the control arms and the ball joints needed to be replaced Oh and the passenger swaybar bushing need was rotting This is a common problem.
