brake fade? the pads, lines, fluid also have to do with the brake response... not just the rotors.

unbalanaced wheels can/will cause vibration at high speed. Go back to the tire shop and have them rebalanced. A weight may have come off.

Warning,

If you recently have had your tires changed I would STRONGLY suggest that you check to see if the fronts are on the front of the car andthe rears on the rears........the last tireshop that did this for me swiched 2 wheels and I lost 3 out of the 5 lug nuts on each wheel. Switched wheels will result in play in the front of the car. So check it out.

wheel balancing could be an issue, but it would be shakey before you even hit the brakes. still could play a factor. but it looks to me like you are braking hard and its getting overheated.
