Maybe warped rotors? Have u been on the brakes hard enough to heat the off and maybe warp them? Such as coming off the highway going 120 and having to slow down fast.

No I never really go that fast at most ill do about 85-90 but I never have to stop quickly when I do that so I dont think thats the problem.

There could be couple things that's causing this problem.

First of, check the pads and make sure they are still good. Are your rotors good?
The problem could also be coming from the alignment.
