Car stutters braking at high speeds

Okay you have a couple choices. 1. Warped Rotors = Only an issue if you race your car 2. Pad deposits = Totally possible 3. Alignment = Only an issue

1. Warped Rotors = Only an issue if you race your car
2. Pad deposits = Totally possible
3. Alignment = Only an issue if it happens ALL the time. Not just under braking.

1. While you don't have to race to warp a rotor, it is rare for a DD.
2. 99.9% chance that this is the problem. A few 60-5 hard braking sessions may fix it. If that doesn't work, resurfacing the rotors may be the answer. As others have said, don't come to a complete stop after braking hard. If you do have to stop after hard braking, keep your foot off the brake - shift to neutral and/or use the parking brake if necessary.
3. Yep. If it only happens when braking, it not a balance problem.
