Default brakes on their way out?

i always drive the living **** outta my car. stop hard, accellerate quickly (for an a4) take corners fast, everything. the last few days on the highway as i try to slow down from 90-100 mph, the brakes make the car shudder. not like the abs, they just make the car shake. also, it feels like i am slowing down waaaay too slowly for a car like mine. maybe the rotors are warped? they have 26000 miles on them, about 5000 of which are like agressive driving. are they shot or is this normal (hope not)? thanks!

also, the perimiter edge of my front rotors is corroding and looks like parts of it are flaking off.

Sounds like warped rotors.

If you are under warranty, have the dealer check and replace.

I know on the b5's you can get bigger a8 brakes for less than 250 for everything. DESTROYS all fade. but IONO about the B6's
