steering wheel rattles when braking..rotors?

whenever i brake while driving fast or even around 30-40 mph my steering wheel vibrates as the car is coming to a stop...i think i need to change the rotors but i am not sure

I had the same issue when I first got my car. I did a full brake job and the problem went away. Could be the same thing. Definitely sounds like it.

you need to be careful with these cars. always avoid braking over 40mph because they will instantly get ruined. dont ride the brakes, and dont brake too much in a certain time frame. they are sensitive and should be used sparingly.
