Default steering wheel shaking badly when braking

seems like one thing after another with this thing

now when i press the brake, my steering wheel shakes violently. it doesnt do it that much when driving in the city but when im driving on the highway it seems to do it alot worse when i brake at higher speeds. what could be causing this? thanks

if theyre warped that bad, you shouldnt cut them.
rotors are 30$ at the most.

dont be cheap.
