Default Vibration under hard braking...

Here's the story...drving back from lunch today in the rain, stoplight turns yellow. Being the awesomely safe driver I am, I braked...hard. No big deal, right? Wrong. Music is up loud, so I can't hear any noise, but something sure felt wrong. I dont know what it was, but I felt a vibration in the pedal for a few seconds. I dont know if it was me sliding a bit and feeling that, or if something could be wrong. Any help would be awesome.

How old are the brake pads /rotors? Could just be wore out.

They appear from the outside to be pretty new, so I dont think that could be it.

hard braking, rain, felt something in the pedal? ABS for sure, no doubt about it. the pedal sort of kicks back at you a bit and you feel a pulsating
